proof of him being on top or didn't happen (tbh fact like this would make it easy to track you down on the internets)


he doesn't live near me anymore, he just moved to canada for work because they don't have up-to-date towers.

my dad is actually a certified tower rescue personnel as well, for when people get up there and freak out and need to be helped down.

however, this video isn't exactly as my dad does it, he climbs with a partner who is basically a "lesser trained" personnel that is just a tool bag bitch for him.

e: nevermind, this guy does have a tool bitch, i wonder if they'll show actually getting onto the top platform, my dad says that's the "hard part" of this whole thing

The dude in the video literally says this is the "hard part" or "tricky part" when they hit the top of the tower. I would totally take a parachute up and just jump off that bitch, fuck climbing down.

Nero, i know you don't/didn't like me in past few months, but i don't really believe you on this one dude. :c Cause that would be just too awesome.
And yes, it shows.

Imagine jumping down and get thrown back into the tower cause of the wind & getting stuck xD

i was visiting him in may, and he pretty much described this video step-by-step.

it's understood that you don't just start off on these gigantic towers, and my dads been doing this for as long as i can remember, but when you first start out you climb 100-300ft cell-sites and if you stick with it you'll end up as one of these dudes.

whatchu mean i didn't like you? you're one of the m8s.

next time i talk to him i'll ask him if he has any pictures or anything, but his wife hates the fact that he climbs, so i doubt he has any pictures.

Dunno we just don't talk that much anymore, and ya know, me being Slunko the dick, and all :D

i'd love a pic of him with a beer in his hands smiling from the top of the world ^_^ that would make one badass photo to show to your grandchildren.
