Lunatics climb the Shanghai Tower

[frapjap]

Two insane guys climb to the top of the Shanghai Tower. I do stupid things, but this would not be among them.

I'm not really one to get vertigo, I am usually more worried about dropping something important than falling, but maannn I just had a quick attack when the one idiot stood up on the end of the crane.

I'm scared of heights. I started sweating, breathing heavy, and repeating "oh that's high", while watching that.

The ascent is the "easy" part. That descent must have been pretty harrowing.

I was jealous. I want to do it. I'm also a dumbass and seem to lack a healthy sense of self preservation that other people seem to have.

Look at his one-sided "ladder" on the side of the tower.

I don't think you could pay me enough to do that job. Plus, if I got up, I couldn't get down. I'd have to parachute.

So I had to google their pay.

How Much Does a Tower Climber Make?

Oh heeellll no! I was guessing somewhere around 250k. Even for 250k, I could not do that job.

If I'm going to be that high off the ground, I'd better be in an airplane.
