I like hights.
What puzzled me in that video was that the tower top hasn't been better designed for safe climbing. Would not weigh more nor cost practically anything extra.
I tried to convince myself he was using some sort of safety straps, but I guess he didn't (??). Only the toolbox
had a safety rope.

How do they get away with not requiring safety straps. Unimaginably stupid! At the least you should be wearing a wingman suit.

I think he's attaching a safety strap every time he stops for a breather (like at 2:19) Looks to me like the tool box is tied to his belt.

Wow. 100 people died on communications towers between 2003 and 2011. That's one a month.

Are you sure they died on the towers?  Not the ground near the base?

Pretty cool.  Reminded me a bit of the possibly even barmier guys who work on power lines from helicopters.
 
 

I'm not scared of heights.
I am scared of falling from heights.
Gravity is unforgiving.

Yeah, same here. It's not the fear of heights, it's the fear of earth. Watching that I was fidgeting in my seat.
 
Back in my younger days I would climb and walk lighting truss as a truss followspot operator. I was ok after I got up there and seated and it was a rush! Up and down though...

Kinda reminds me of this job.

It's not the fall, it's the sudden stop...

That looks ... almost as high as the Empire State Building.
