Yes I could and I have done it. Used to maintain the lights on several towers that were nearly that tall. 1500 feet. My father also did tower work. That's how I learned plus I used his climbing gear.
It's scary but surreal to be up so high supported by so little. I can't do it anymore but would love to try.

It would take a very finely honed cocktail of drugs for me to complete that

UMMMMMMMMMMMMM, NO!!!!!!

Got stuck on a roof once, framed it, sheathed it & was putting down shingles for a day and a half, after lunch, went up the ladder to the staging, over to, & up the ladder to the roof, I got on the roof then pure PANIC set in, I scrambled to the roof peak & vacuum sealed my but there!!!!!!

I spent over an hr. telling my self over & over that this an irrational fear, my coworkers asked if they should call the fire dept. to get me down, I replied, NOOOOOOOOOOOO. I was an officer in my local fire an hr. away. the fire svce. is a small community!

Needles to say, I talked my self out of my irrational fear, hopped down, grabbed a bunch of shingles & finished the roof!!!!!!!!!!

two story or single? i used to have a fear of heights but i actually got over it by falling off a 20 foot wall :lol3: one of the last jobs i was on at that job was the equivalent of a four story building (it was a house) and i had to form and pour the chimneys which were out on the very edge of the structure. i got pretty used to hanging off the side of the building tethered off to rebar to strip or build the forms.

still don't think i could go THAT high though.
