"I like climbing.*
I climbed a little over 3 stories of scaffolding today to get an HVAC*
guy to do his job. The first floor is actually about 17feet, the*
rappel the Deuce did on his retracto leash. They were supposed to put*
the vent covers on the stubs out before the stucco guys got there. The*
lead guy was whining that it was too high, too hard, no fall gear,*
yada yada.*
I just started climbing up there and when I passed the second floor*
his helper decided if an old geezer like me could get up there, he*
could. We met at the top and the lead guy handed us the vents out the*
window after the minute or to it took him to get up the steps.*
The view was really worth the climb.*
After that I just went back in through the 3d floor window and really*
made them look foolish. It did not occur to them that you really did*
not have to climb at all."



Unless that scaffolding was rock solid (no movement), I wouldn't be comfortable on it. Maybe one of those basket on the end of a boom Genie rigs would be better.

Greg builds rope bridges. 'Rock solid' is not a necessity.
