Myself NO. but I used to hang out of a copters with a gunners belt.

I’m not tempted. I never thought I was afraid of heights until I tried to get to the top of my chimney. Turns out I am.

Fuck yes.
My legs turn to rubber.
If I’m enclosed, like in an office building looking out, I’m fine.
The second I feel open air + heights, I’m useless.
Afraid? Maybe “aware” is a better term. As in aware that one slip from 30’ and I’m dead. I blame Praxair.
used to be…but I climb industrial chimney’s all the time now. So it’s no biggie.
Actually, the scariest for me has been inside the dam at the New York Power Authority. I was repelling down a 120’ cliff while it is pitch black and all you can hear is little stones falling down into the abyss.
I’ll post up some pictures.
about 95ft:
about 180ft:
this is behind the wall at Power Authority Dam, about 80ft:
about 225ft:
about 400ft:
I’m not a fan of heights… and being who I am, I normally look at crap and see how I could fail… Thus rollercoasters and crap like that I’m very leary of.
But…
I used to rock climb up few hundred foot cliffs and repel down them like there’s no tomorrow and I never had an issue.
I tried fucking a chick on her roof last saturday, I went soft after looking over the edge.
It bothers me at first, but after I’m there for awhile I’m fine. Putting a metal roof on my dad’s barn was fun. 6-12 pitch, 55’ off the ground.
Def not. I’ve done numerous hikes where if I was, I would have shit myself and got into the fetal position.
poll now up. unless your afraid/ aware of heights…
arctan(6/12)=26.56 degrees… pretty steep
When I was younger I was petrified of heights, but now I’m not. It’s weird.
Like ST, doing roofing on stupid pitches makes you not so much of a bitch
cool options :picard:
yeah, nothing like holding a hammer and nailing on a 2x12 on a wall 20’ + up…been there done that…
I want you to know that I don’t put out on the first date… unless you get me really drunk.
You might need to take out a personal loan to accomplish that
:rx3:, i miss you buddy.
So which one of you manly men wants to make a few hundo painting my chimney? :pedo:
I guess I would do it. Only today though, I’m busy every other day.
I’m sure there is a tie off location rated to 5000lbs on your house…
It’s amazing we can walk or even eat on site.
Let alone, hurl steel objects around like its a game.
(horseshoes)
So what your saying is, that you push back better on a roof?
Sure, i will do it.
I might chip in for this, :redface:
