OMG !!!

that video "Stairway to Heaven"...
I had to force myself to watch it to the end
Found my mouth was WIDE open !
And did you notice how , at the very end, he stands there preparing a clip to secure to the tower but he's using BOTH hands to fiddle with it and he's just standing , no arm around that pole or anything !

I think i might have nightmares for a few nights now...
thanks a lot !

I am having to pause that video every few seconds to see if I can make my way through it.

I'm not comfortable climbing that mast at the best of times, but swinging down from a helicopter and then hanging to it while buffeted by the down-draft would be worse than caught in a storm up there... at least there is no lightning .

You can also try googling "stairway to heaven" or "guided tower". Lots of video on the net with this footage.
