Holy shit! Didn't see that coming at the end... Although I was waiting for you to run and jump for an epic swing.

Holy shit man, you're the damn king. Nothing I'll ever do will be that insane. Congrats for having the balls to dream that up and then pull it off.

this is incredible, don’t know how I’ve never seen this but I’m glad I did now.

Fuck. You fuckers are insane. I was incredibly uncomfortable the entire time watching that video.
Really very amazing.

Since I watched this like, 5 more times. Still, fuck. You're my hero.

Gotta give you props for this one. Major respect. Doesn't matter if you're someone I don't like, if you do some dope shit, you do some dope shit. It took a lot of balls and skill to pull this off. It was also cool that you took control of the crane. I've done some crazy shit, but not as crazy as that. Looks like I'll have to step up my game.
Take nothing but Nazi VHS tapes, leave nothing but footprints, drink nothing but Dos Equis. Stay thirsty my friends. |

Absolutely crazy... Thought it was just for shits when you pulled out the manual and started thumbing through it. Very exciting stuff.

fucking gopro hero 3 black really liked to just turn itself off randomly despite having a full charge. But yeah, I went back up the rope.

The adrenaline and endorphin rush must have been intense.
Maybe you already answered this question but for a video like this did you have to hold off for a certain amount of years before posting it?

I think I waited about three years to make it public on Vimeo, and I re-edited it a few times before that.
I went up there twice, the first attempt I didn't rappel down before trying to lasso the lightning rod on the other building. I tried about 100 times before giving up and leaving. We came back a week later and tried again. My friend was supposed to also traverse over but we had both worked a 6 hour shift hanging drywall then drove two hours then spent another four hours or so building a treehouse at his place. He took some long exposures while I was slowly turning the crane. I sped it up in the video for pacing, the onsite guard could see the crane from his post so I wanted it to look like normal wind shift, so I went really slow. When I was ready to set up the rope he ended up taking a nap in the cab of the crane. He woke up to see me ascending back up the rope. The main thing I was thinking about while on the rope was how fucking lit up I was from the lights on the building and I was worried people on the balconies of Marina City could see me. Also, I edited out the nearly 40 failed attempts to get a rope on that lightning rod after rappelling down level with it. I had to throw, wind it back up while kicking one leg to spin back around to the correct orientation. Having an awake belay buddy to control slack on a second rope would both prevent having to do that and be way safer.
