Its not the fall that hurts ~ its the stop at the bottom !!!
I cant compete with your heights, the best I have ever done was a 450' communication tower when I was 19.
It was still under construction at the time.
I waited one day till the riggers had left, they had just finished the ladders. I got some great pics from the top.
It felt like it was swaying about 4' each way in the wind.
Was a much slower climb back down.
