Can anyone watch this without flinching? I used to have no problems with heights, but now this is wtf This is the same lad that hangs off cranes. The documentary Don't Look Down was insane but compelling film, I had a few disturbed sleepless nights after watching it.

I could work on scaffolding to a fair height with little worry, but going from a ladder to roof and vice versa makes me hold on for dear life, even if was a bungalow lol. Title: Re: Climbing the Eiffel Tower Post by: The Camel on November 10, 2015, 01:57:39 PM Geezer needs putting away.
Not fair to inflict the trauma of scraping him up off the floor one day on whoever has to do the gruesome deed. Title: Re: Climbing the Eiffel Tower Post by: NoCardDSC on November 10, 2015, 02:18:28 PM This is the same guy that done the 'Don't look down' documentary I believe. He's a loon, but I think doctors have said it's now an addiction.
Either way, it's absolutely nuts and not going to be fair when the inevitable does happen. edit - seen the OP mentioned Don't look down now :-X Title: Re: Climbing the Eiffel Tower Post by: Graham C on November 10, 2015, 04:55:55 PM Saw this the other day, made me queezy just watching it!
Some of his other videos are worth a look. Like the one where he goes out on a crane, takes his phone out of his pocket to "dangle down" then forgets to take it again and has to go back out :D Not a mistake I'd like to make!

Absolutely this. My mother used to be a paramedic and one time had to pick up a head from the side of the road from a motorcycle accident. That was over 20 years ago and it has left a real imprint. Very selfish what folks like this guy do. Title: Re: Climbing the Eiffel Tower Post by: RickBFA on November 11, 2015, 03:00:33 PM He's crackers.
I walked up the Eiffel Tower to the first public gallery area last time we went to Paris with the family. Even towards the top of that bottom section and fully enclosed I was cacking it. God knows how they do that. Title: Re: Climbing the Eiffel Tower Post by: GreekStein on November 11, 2015, 03:02:25 PM I hate heights. Probably my biggest fear.
I once went up the Eiffel tower with my family and I was absolutely shitting myself. Could not bring myself to go anywhere near the windows/edges and was clinging onto smth the whole time feeling sick. Title: Re: Climbing the Eiffel Tower Post by: Longines on November 11, 2015, 04:54:00 PM We did the One World Observatory and the CN Tower this summer. I'm not too good with heights either but was fine in both - until we went outside on the CN. As soon as I could hear and feel the wind I was shitting myself.
