Hanging around

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Sometime at work I come accross a situation where we can not get lift equipment in the area, the work is too high for a ladder, and the cost of setting up a swing stage vs the ammount of work needed done dosent balance out. In those situations we harness up and drop over the side. Here are a couple pictures of me repelling down a small building at the UCSD medical center scripps, to repair a window.

Nice pictures. I wish I could do this but my phobia for height just won :)

Thanks, glad you liked them. The trade is not for everyone, ive seen many guys quit the first day after going up in a boom lift, swing stage or even just after being on the edge of the buildig working for a couple hours. For those without the fear of heights its an interesting exciting job to have.
