I'm spinning counter-clockwise, each turn robs the planet of angular momentum, slowing its spin the tiniest bit, lengthening the night, pushing back the dawn, giving me a little more time here with you. |

You don't need to introduce some sort of urban topological rogue wind to your scenario. I've been up cranes during pretty lovely, naturally gusting winds. If there's wind at ground level, you can usually bet there are stronger winds fifty storeys up.

| | | | This reminds me of something I was thinking about. If someone made a very large fire pole, how high would you be willing to slide down? If someone paid me a large sum of money I would consider sliding down the height of a skyscraper.

fire poles i could do because i'd be holding on with my whole body. pull-ups on a crane is something i'd never do.

| | | | yea i could only imagine that the idea of doing pull ups on a crane would be somewhat stressful on my mind as well as the fact what if he got tired and couldn't do that last pull up or the wind factor that didn't seem to bee that pleasing either.

| | | | I have no interest in so-called 'high-stuff', seems a complete waste of time tbh, i've worked on large over-head cranes and worked at 'height', potentially hazardous.... Even with a harness!

That's a funny idea, problem is, you would burst into flames after 100 feet or so. The friction, and how long could you control your speed? Asbestos underwear and gloves would be useful. Would be quite something to watch.
The guy on the crane is damn spooky. Partly for me because of the width of the bar. You can't squeeze a four inch pipe like you can squeeze a one inch. At least I can't. Bigger balls than brains.

| | | | after seeing that I look at cranes and think "what the fuck kind of drugs are those dudes on??!?" I mean one crane was only like 30 stories up and I could imagine what would happen if I fell from it..
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - *splat*
wow but pics of that I guess is cool..
won't catch me ever doing that tho..
I will defeat that which was once untouchable only so that I may now move on |

| | | | I found a refence on the web that these are rock climbers with 15 years of experience. If true - that gives it a slightly different twist. Unsecured solo climbing is usually frowned upon, but many well known climbers have done it.
Ces grimpeurs ne seraient pas des amateurs, contrairement à ce qu'on pourrait croire. Ils se vantent d'avoir 15 ans d'escalade, est ce suffisant pour prendre ce genre de risque ?
