Who's got more guts than me?

Awesome pics!

Awesome, Added those to the screen saver's!!!.

Oh yeah, and Not me on the guts thing. I dang near get vertigo just looking at the pictures.

Nice post Scott. My hat's off to you. I don't think I would have attempted that on my salary. Great shots and, as usual, a nice entry in the documentary to your work.

Thanks for sharing.

Those two guys at the end of the boom have me beat by miles.

I'm pretty sure my sizeable gut is bigger than yours and most everyone's here on BeerLeg.

I could probably stand to be up that high so long as I did not have to climb a ladder. Take me up in an elevator, then I'll stroll out VERY CAREFULLY to take a look.

I hate ladders. Even short step ladders. Put me on a roof and I'm doing fine.

I have been places I thought a whole lot more dangerous. That does not look too bad to me.

Nice pictures Scott. Kind of remind me of the old photo's of when the Empire State building was built.

I hear you, Sam, but you're probably not talking about jail are you?

Who's got more guts than me? - not me

Not me. I would probably have passed out. Although I have never passed out.
I used to handle heights just fine - until I found they can really hurt you. Been there a few times.
Vertigo hits me hard over 2 stories these days.

Time to buy a longer and lighter plumb bob.

<----Concurs with Jered!!! I get dizzy just looking at those!! But Wow!!! Stunning!!! :angel:

Oops!

Hold on a second guys, I left my tape measure in the truck. Don't move I'll be right back.

Screw that!

Kris beat me to it... first words out of my mouth.
Screw That!

The altitude is scary. I’m thinking this picture is at about the 90 or 92nd floor.

According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, the building seen between the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge in the first photo is the world’s tallest residential building. As you can see, Tower One dwarfs that building already.

At 870 feet tall, the building, known both as 8 Spruce Street and Gehry New York, is
residential on floors 9 to 76, or 89 percent of its floor area (there's a public school and some space for Beekman Downtown Hospital in the lower floors), beating the Trump World Tower (861 feet) on First Avenue near the United Nations.

not as impressive but still scary...

this is tame compared to Scott's pictures, but I got a chance to ride in up on top of the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway in NH during it's 6 minute, 2000 ft vertical rise to the summit.

you can see the platform we were standing on just to the left of the cable.

not as high, but the tram sways back and forth quite a bit on the ascent, especially when going over the towers.

those are haybales several hundred feet below:

This takes some brass....

While I am the first to admit that higher is more scary, I find it interesting that we are more scared of 100 floors up than 3 floors up. A fall from either one is likely to be fatal, yet 3 stories up does not elecit the same gut response.

yeah but...

yeah, but if you fall from 100 stories, you have a lot longer to think about your imminent death.
