Ive been up the top , on the inside obviously , and from memory it wasn’t too bad , you could kinda lean out a small opening and see the fountains down below and hear ground noise rather than high wind noise … so I guess if the conditions are good then you are ok. It was some stunt woman , but I couldn’t see any obvious parachute or anything on her back , either way she’s clearly insane ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done all kinds of big height stuff, jumping off cliffs into the sea, jumping off cliffs hang-gliding, climbing under a road bridge over a ravine, abseiling… rock climbing, all utterly unbothered by the height. But videos like that one make my legs go slightly tingly. I dunno if it’s because you have no control, maybe over the situation? Compared to actually being at height, I mean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind walking up to the cliff edge for a decko, but if I see somebody else doing it, it gives me the willies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted August 8, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 8, 2021 Heights can eff the eff off Never used to bother me, then they suddenly did I can conquer it as I climbed Sydney Harbour Bridge but I still choose not to put myself in those situations most of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I don’t know from one day to the next if I’m going to be ok with heights. I do a fair bit of standing on roofs, usually by climbing up scaffolding ladders. Some days, I’m fearless and will enjoy the view and the privilege of seeing a city from a different angle. Then some days, it’s a no. Some days I get there and have to tell people I won’t be joining them on the roof. Luckily, I’m big and gruff enough not to be cajoled in to giving it a go and then being a liability once I’m up there. Doesn’t happen often, 2 or 3 times a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t anymore, mostly. I think it might be being more aware of our fragility as we get older. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last roof I climbed on was onto the roof of an air traffic control tower in the desert. Fantastic view of….er, desert, 360, but at least there was a breeze. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, done a couple of high rise projects including Lancaster House off the m5 junction 2, nothing too crazy I think about 14 floors is the highest I've gone and when you go that high on simple buildings you end up with mast climbers rather than scaffolding I have had the joy of standing on the top of a lift car and going up the 14 floors, that was fun Once did the BMAG dome and the number of people trying to break in not for vandalism or theft but simply to try and get up high on the scaffolding and take skyline photos for sites like skyscrapercity was mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Days off when you are on nights are strange at night time, so nights off I guess. Missus and her lad both in bed. Im too awake to go to bed. Too tired to do anything meaningful. This is prime time for YouTube rabbit hole adventures. Just spent an hour watching walking videos around towns in Yokohama and the seaside areas. Feeling a bit down tonight. I hate working nights, always feels like your wasting your life away as can’t really do much with your time off. Bit better money I guess.

Used to hate it, especially as she would do overtime which meant doing extra night shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
