Worlds scarriest job? Climbing a 1700' transmission tower

That's insane. What you don't see in the video but I guarantee is definitely there is a huge amount of side-to-side sway, I wouldn't be surprised if it sways 20' in either direction at that height. I could even feel it at the top of a 75' pole for zip lining, I can't imagine how much it would be at 20x that height.

wow. watching that seriously got my hands AND feet sweaty. I remember Zip-Lining in Thailand and there was about a 75 foot tall tree that was swaying side to side....and that was quite freaky enough already. wow.
