Getting up wouldn't be too difficult. Getting down would be the tricky part. Parachute would be my first choice.

Add a wing suit and you've sold me on the idea! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWfph3iNC-k
That certainly wouldn't be for me!

Hubby was an aerial rigger for 22yr- he got his job when the previous postholder took the fast way down :S He'd come back from work with such a strange perspective on life from things he saw... looking down into military jets cockpits as they buzzed the towers, one windy day he came back gray as the wind had taken him off the tower horizontally and for a second, he thought he'd been free climbing until the fall arrester caught him... but they did get some cracking shots 
I got an adrenaline rush just watching that....... i want a go...seriously.
He did come pretty damn close to the ground on a couple of occasions there though. Twitchy bum moments lol

I used to be good with heights, but as i got older the thought of what if, really affects me. not sure i could do his job even if my head could i'm not sure my legs could. the first time i did Go Ape was a bottom twitching moment,but not as bad as the highest jump at Aberiddy, Pembrokeshire when coaststeering that made me feel quite ill

I was really, really glad when he stopped But he misses the adrenaline, I just have to drive him more often to give him the rush of scary moments

I climbed for England since I could walk and from leaving school at 15yrs of age I worked on rooves until the last time, in my thirties scaffolding on the Liverpool Cathedral, I loved climbing, always slid down the outside, now I'm a lot older, the thought spooks me, strange how I've lost that feeling for heights, anyone else like that?
Yup. I've flown light aircraft, been skydiving and abseiled down waterfalls, but since becoming a father, it's something I feel increasingly uneasy with.
