I got sick just watching that! And I love how there was virtually no rebar used!

There was a safety cable and the guys were using harneses attatched to it but I would still have lost my cookies.
Looked like some kind of post apocaliptic music video!

He probably had a helmet cam. That was absolutely crazy though. It's amazed me how that walkway was built. If I have to pick skydiving or that, I woulda pick skydiving.

I wonder where that is, and I second the bit about not doing it unless strapped to a safety cable, and even then, maybe 2 harnesses.

i would love to go there as long as theres a guy that is bigger then me out front. the guy with the camera is saftyed off you can see the cable shakeing in front of him.
even with modern tools that would be a hard build . totaly awsome

It's in Malaga, Spain and apparently is a very popular tourist destination. On one of the youtube video, you can see a tour bus at the base of the mountain. Wikipedia have a short article on it. I can't even imagine how they built the catwalk that goes over thin air between the two walls.

Yeah, but as a field tech, you had plenty to hang onto on those cell towers.

By the way, who did you work for, a carrier or a contractor? Just curious.
