Give me $100k for the motivation and the time after the bulb is changed to sit on my *** to spend the moolah while a build up enough confidence to go for a second round at 100k. But realistically, HELL NO.

If there was a harness system, and I didn't have to go up "when theres a storm brewing" I'd deff find a way to get over the height thing.

Looks like a damn good workout

I use to do tower work for the first 3 years I was out of high school, my tallest was 400'. I never had the chance to go that tall but would have like to have had the chance to but not by free climbing it. There are several techniques that are safer and just have quick.

BTW, he ain't makin 100k
