Stuff that! He was only clipping on every now and then when he wanted/needed a break. It looks like the design had allowed for the climbing of each
section but some of the transitions between sections were bloody awkward.
Some of the consultants we work with make a fuss if we try to access anything over 1m without a MEWP now.

I get a touch of vertigo climbing up a ladder sometimes, but this made me feel positively unwell! There are some things I wouldn't do for any
money....
Think I'll go and lie down now. That way I'll be nice and near the ground.

I'm ok with heights but have a bit of a thing about ladders. Having had to climb some fairly awkward things in the past (much closer to the
ground), those parts climbing from one section to the next where there were no real hand holds etc made my stomach churn. I'd have frozen at
those points (not that I'd have got that high to start with!)

Big money, big balls. I suppose once you get so far off the ground a falls going to kill you no matter what, so best just get on with it.
Not sure why he completely removes his fall arrest line at the end, when the other guy clips on!

Well, feel a bit sick now. Anyway, if they were working for me they would be fired now. Half of the time they're not secured.

It's a tandem climb, they are tied together, there is always one of them clipped on as the other one climbs.

Ah excellent, a comment from the home of the EU, makers of all the most ridiculous and pointless legislation in the world, such as: "You
can't climb that, you haven't got a harness on"

Audio says they are free climbing as it's quicker and easier.
The line going down goes to his toolkit not to the other climber as far as I can see (check out 1:54 onwards).

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
