Lots of truth being told in this thread!

Ladders are also the one justification I have to buy a proper tool belt because juggling tools and screws and stuff while up a ladder really isn't fun and I'm sure we've all that one of those slight wobbles when you run out of hands or over-reach for something.

Have you got a link to that one?

This isn’t the original (which was a promo vid from the company) but they seem to have taken 99% of it.

I love this vid but it does give me serious heebie jeebies - mainly at all the transition points (where he moves from one section to another).

Fuck that.

But thanks for posting it

You asked for it so the rule is you HAVE to now watch it. Even if you feel sick.

Every time you think he’s reached the top cos he is approaching the end of a section....; there is another section.

I used to enjoy the youtube videos of the nutters climbing skyscrapers and cranes for fun. Seems to have been a crackdown on it or they've mostly fallen to their deaths as they don't come up as much.

Yeah, that has given me the fear and like @Mito Man, I've watched some properly nuts YT stuff with free climbers and those crazy kids climbing all sorts of stuff.

Can I just say how pleasing it is that Ascender is posting in a ladders thread.
