These engineers climb to the top of transmission towers for maintenance.

I will warn you - do not watch if you have a fear of heights.

Even looking up at a tall building makes me dizzy. I don't think I could handle hanging from one.

They don't even really use safety wires. What the EFF. NO.

As soon as they said they don't use harnesses of any kind, I literally broke out into a sweat. My hands are still wet and clammy like a 5 year old right now.

That's right its harnesses they don't use. I think they have wires. They just don't mess with them often because they hamper progress...

Yeah I don't really mind heights too much but watching this video kinda made me ill.

ETA - I KNOW I thought he was at the top quite a few times! And then... there would just be more!

I can't believe its LEGAL to 'free climb' thats so scary!

Imagine the climb down!!! I think it would be 1000% worse than climbing up the tower.

That's terrifying!! My hands are so sweaty and my legs are kind of shaky after watching that! Yikes! I don't think I'd even be able to ride the elevator to where they start climbing.
