   They must some pretty big balls to do that! I’m surprised they didn’t base jump off at the end, It’d be the only sensible thing to do considering what they just did.

   … So they took the stairs 99% of the way, then an access ramp that was a bit steep? Essentially what construction workers on the project do/did except without a tether?

   I mean i’ve seen a lot of cool vids of people climbing buildings.. It just usually involves more.. actual climbing, rather than “oh look here’s a hand rail right next to me”…..

      Or google “Alex Honnold”, who climbs large, bare vertical rock faces barehanded.

      What these guys did could be done by any reasonably fit person with a minimal sense of vertigo. That’s not to say it’s unimpressive (there’s no way I could do it) but it’s not “international news” impressive.

   The way I cringed and felt vertigo watching that, even though I knew I was safe, and that it was just a video and that they weren’t going to fall, makes me even more excited for potential of the Oculus Rift.

   Love it. If only I was young enough to not value my life again… Sigh….
