You would definitely need some brass ones. My great uncle was an electrician that worked on the Empire state building and I've seen pictures of him walking steel 700-800 feet up with spools of wire on his shoulder. I can only imagine what 1700 feet is like. Did the second guy have a parachute on?

Probably - that way they could identify who's who when they Dell and went splat.

No freakin' way, no how. I hate even getting up on my roof much less higher unless I'm in a freakin' airplane or in a building.
