...shit...i wouldnt be able to get twenty feet up, yet alone a thousand and then not using the safety line. They gotta be getting some serious hazard pay.

I would jump out of a plane again, but I could never do this. EVER. Not to mention that your forearms need to be made of steel to handle that much gripping and climbing.

Come to think of it, these guys should have parachutes...

What do you mean "From HERE it's just another 60 feet to the top????"

I could climb up the ladders no problem, Even the ladder changes are okay. The clambering and pulling up the dead weight of the tool bag. Nope. I thought it was his safety line but it turns out to be an anchor trying to return him to Earth ASAP.

The outside spike climbing - at a real push I could do that I think.

But...

No way, at all, in any circumstance could I climb down. That is why I'd pack a parachute as MD says. You may as well save time and enjoy the fruits of your climbing.
