    Lightbulb Free Climbing a 1,768' tower to change the light bulb!!!

    WTF? my hands and feet are sweating from watching this. I think I would die from shock if I even tried this.

    Get past the cartoon intro, then the fun starts...

    Must be ever tougher to climb with such huge balls weighing you down... That shit is for the birds.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Yea screw that. I've heard they don't make a whole lot of money. Like 60-100k a year. Not enough money in the world to get me to do that.

    That's one fast way of getting down... Climb up, change a bulb, strap on your tool bag and base jump. Maybe that's why they do that job.
