I've never been up a tower that tall, but I used to do tree work. Climbing really tall trees is no doubt similar. Most of the time you're concentrating on the tree and not really noticing how far down the ground is. I think climbing down is harder than going up, and it isn't practical to let yourself down with a rope, as you do on a tree.          Mark Alan MacKinnon - Mar 03,2012   Viewers  | Reply     Don, I'm sorry, I disagree. I've climbed both trees and narrow towers. In a tree, you're surrounded by branches. On a narrow tower, you're surrounded by nothing, and it gets narrower as you go up (or so it seems, when it actually doesn't). The sensation is entirely different. I've never climbed very high, because I felt so uncomfortable, and decided early that tower work isn't for me. I have no fear of height in a plane or tree, but climbing a tower is totally different. It takes a special breed of people to climb towers like this, and I take my hat off to them.          Don Maxwell - Mar 03,2012   Viewers  | Reply     The tallest tower I've been up was only about 300 feet, but it wasn't much different than topping a 100 foot pine, where you cut off the limbs as you go up and then take the trunk down in sections, cutting it above your head each time. Not my favorite job, but you get used to it.<P>But this video gives me a new appreciation for the guys who climb the really tall towers--like these near where I live:<P><img src="inline/10098-Sectional_TowersNearKFCI.jpg" alt="Sectional-TowersNearKFCI"><!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or &gt; missing in user HTML.

Did I read that right--2000 feet tall?
