It might have been a couple years back, but there were a series of free
climbing photos posted on here. I remember on was 3 or 4 young
guys...maybe early 20s and I'd guess it was in the UK. They had
jackets/blazers and sweaters under them. They were on a power line under
construction. One had climbed to the bottom of an insulator which was
as tall or taller than he was. The photo also showed a rural, hilly
area. Those towers were big!
It was a whole series, including the Empire State Bldg, Golden Gate bridge, the power line, and others IIRC. Some of them would have been a rather high pucker factor even with today's climbing gear. These guys didn't even have a rope. Just proof, that Darwin's theory also includes the lucky!<:-)) Wish I could find them. I'd save them this time! 73 Roger (K8RI) On 11/22/2014 6:58 PM, Doug Renwick wrote: Careful now; you will get the sidewalk supervisors telling us how to do our job.
