Those of you who cant view youtube vids, its a video of a worker climbing up a 1768 foot guided electrical tower (Stairway To Heaven). The Sears Building is 1730 feet to give you an idea of how tall that is.

Oh hell no. I was ok until he wasn't surrounded by tower and ladders, but then my hands started sweating like a motherf*cker. There's no way you could be fat after doing that climb... LOL

thanks for the explanation for those who can't view youtube. I was at the Sears tower a few weeks ago. Wouldn't dare climb something that high voluntarily unless I had a substantial safety harness

I'd rather do that job than do any kind of customer service. I hate retarded people, which IMO is like 50% of the population, or all democrats. lol
