You know how if you drop a penny from the Empire State Building it could kill someone? I'd imagine it'd be like that but on a bigger scale.Wadders said:

So the guys have safety ropes, yet only use 'em when "taking a break" from climbing? Seems smart...!
Damn, and here was me thinking you were asking if we suffered from vertigo as a result of our lofty status as one of the premier discussion forums on the internet. My mistake.
OT: That looks... consternation-inducing. And I would like to see games introducing vertigo, definitely. In fact, I'd like more verticality in games, period. Assassin's Creed did manage to give me mild vertigo, but only at the highest points in the game, e.g. balancing on the cross atop a cathedral.

my palms started to sweat so I got the impression I could never do that. Ever. Maybe if I was extremely suicidal... Or if by doing so I'd get a harem of 70 super model women.
I just had a really funny thought of him getting to the top, whipping out a wrench, only to have it slip out of his hands.Wadders said:
"Awww, shit" would be his reaction.
Anyway, OT: HOLY CHRIST. I can't even rock climb, these guys truly have the biggest BAWLS ever!
Holy balls. That is....fucking impressive. I mean, most of the climb he wasn't even attached in any way! What the fuck.

I bet the wind up there is insane.
You could not pay me enough money to do something like that. I don't mind heights, but I do mind falling.

This video reminded me of a photo series I saw a while ago.Caligulove said:
This one isn't quite as tall, standing at around 300 meters if I remember right, but I'd be far less inclined to climb it because it has been sitting abandoned and unmaintained.
