I wonder how many people die every year doing that job. It takes a special/crazy person to do that.

As long as there going up there, they might as well put an anemometer.

It could be snowing up there and raining at the surface.

BTW, this shows them going up. I think coming back down is more scary. I wonder if anyone ever climbed high and froze from fright? On the other hand, there are some that simply have no fear of heights.
