7 minutes of the most terrifying climb you have ever seen

From a helmet cam, this construction worker has recorded some of the most intense climbing footage known to man.  The video has been witnessed nearly 30 million times; to us it may seem insane, but to him it is just another day on the job.

The climb takes the man over 1,700 feet in the air, hanging on only by his hands and feet.

The view is insane and the free climb may have violated OSHA's guidelines for workers.

According to industry site Wireless Estimator:

Jim Coleman, Chairman of the National Association of Tower Erectors viewed the video this morning on YouTube and was troubled by the comments concerning free climbing. He was also concerned that it was entitled as a tutorial. "I'm unaware of any guidance by OSHA that allows for free climbing as an acceptable method of accessing elevated work," Coleman said . . . The man that shot it using a helmet camera, and who approved the edited version, said "he was getting calls from colleagues telling him that they were concerned about what the video showed," according to [The Online Engineer site] owner, Russ Brown. It was removed due to Brown's concern for his friend who provided the climbing footage.

The original video was pulled and it was reuploaded.  I can only imagine how many people saw the first one.  This footage is insane.
