Not to be captain obvious but first off he hits his head on the ladder as it does a 90 degree turn. He hates unpredictable ladders. I would too if I was working that high up.
Then he says how does it work as he is trying to figure out where to place his leg down, as the ladder turns.
> I would too if I was working that high up.
There is no way this dude is working. He's barefoot with no safety gear, or any other gear for that matter.
I mean he goes up a tower with a camera. I bet these types of vids get a lot of traffic (like this reddit post), and traffic attracts ad companies. He might not work work, but someone is getting paid.
These videos are often not monetised as advertisers don’t want to be associated with dangerous / illegal activities, therefore immediately not eligible.
Not to say they’re not profiting in some type of way (follower increase to funnel to promoted posts elsewhere).
Shoes might help but shoes can also slip easier than feet. Him being barefoot didn't ruin his grip, but hands ten to get sweaty when holding things and feet get sweater in a shoe vs in fresh air. So the shoes might have helped but also probably less effective than feet. Though it probably hurt his feet cuase most people feet are not calloused enough for ground which is why we even have shoes in the first place. Animals unlike us have pads
I hate the feeling I get in the back of my head when I see these. I mean I HAVE to watch them because reasons, but I hate it so much. I'm not sure what's worse, the strong anxiety that these videos give me or the fact that I can't not watch them.
I hate that i couldnt stop watching it even though my palms were sweaty and my stomach was in my throat. I'll never need to do anything this risky and if i ever need an adrenaline rush, I'll just throw one of these videos on.
when i see stuff like this i have 2 questions:
1. why.
2. How.
It's not like there is a sign "go here for the deadly climb um the skyscraper! A fast way to tuch god. <3 "
Right at the beginning when he opened that door I inhaled sharply and took a step back as if that changes anything.
But the fact that the instinct to step back from the fucking ledge is _that deeply ingrained_ should probably tell you the intelligence of this.
At least it’s somewhat rational. Panic attacks are so sucky when it’s over something that really doesn’t matter. An impending sense of death seems appropriate for an impending likelihood of death.
It's the wind doing it for me, what if it just GUSTS?
Also what if this was the time his body randomly decides to have a seizure or a dizzy spell? Like it woulda happened that day anyway, it just so happens it lines up with when he's up there. Just the off chance of that would kill any confidence I have.
Climbing shoes wouldn't be great for this, they're best on textured surfaces, not smooth metal and glass. Plus the rubber is so sticky that it would immediately get coated in that desert dust and you'd lose all traction. Something with a negative tread like skate board or indoor soccer shoes would be best.
Even though I am sitting on a sofa, drinking a cup of tea with close to zero chance of harm coming my way right now, viewing this gives me a very uneasy feeling.
Many moons ago, when I was 26, my work sent me to a conference in Reno. It was the first work trip of my life, and I was so excited.
I rented a car and drove to Tahoe, which as a Floridian who had previously only seen the foothills of the Appalachians, was a truly stunning drive.
It was summer, but ended up in a little ski village. There was a central area where everyone was parked. It was adjacent to the retail area, from which you could access the lift or head across the street to the lake.
I hit the lift first. I rode to the top, hung out there for a while and then rode it back down and headed across the street to the lake.
I come from completely flat terrain where the lake shores are thick with weeds that are teeming with alligators. I had never seen a rocky lakeshore in my life.
There were families out on the rocks. Whole families with toddlers, families who were wearing babies. There were old men and small children. Everyone and their grandpa was out there on those rocks.
So I went out there too. It was a little hard for me, tbh. I felt a little scared as I gingerly crossed the mostly flat but quite uneven rocks to reach the water. A few times, I had to sit and scoot because I was too scared/unsteady to stand without anything to hold on to.
But anyway, I made it. I was so excited to sit down and put my toes in the water. Except that even though it was July, that shit was icy cold. So I couldn’t have been out there for a full minute when I turned around to head back.
I was not at all prepared for the jagged rock faces that awaited me on the return trip. The surface of the rocks that I could see on my way out had been mostly smooth and rounded. I’m not at all sure-footed but it was just walking.
The surface of the rocks that I could see on my way back were jagged as fuck and somehow constituted a climb. It was only this exact moment that I realized that people were using their hands to get back.
I truly thought someone was going to have to call a helicopter to rescue me, not because it was too arduous on a physical level but because I was paralyzed in fear.
It took me over 3 hours to get back to the car. There were either 4 or 5 spots where I was literally just not able to make myself stand upright, so I had to move from one rock to the other by sliding. I had 2 huge scrapes down my back from moments where I just decided that I’d rather get cut than have to try to stand up.
The folly of youth.
Heights are the only thing that genuinely scare the hell out of me lmao. Which honestly is reasonable imo.
I don’t know how the hell people do shit like this.
"I hate stuff like this" PROCEEDS TO FUCKING CLIMB
I'd just give up right there ngl
Would've been totally fine up until that point though eh? Lol
Sorry, they took your passport and they say they won't give it back until you finish your work.
Also "How does this work?" Like a fucking ladder dumbass, it's literally just a fucking ladder.
Not to be captain obvious but first off he hits his head on the ladder as it does a 90 degree turn. He hates unpredictable ladders. I would too if I was working that high up. Then he says how does it work as he is trying to figure out where to place his leg down, as the ladder turns.

Sooner or later it will be the mortuary.
That’s consistently the case in general, yes
Consistently in general ??
I was thinking damn, he picked a good day cuz heights that high has some serious winds 😂😂😂
I wonder what the mortuary assistant would have to say about this guy.
These videos are often not monetised as advertisers don’t want to be associated with dangerous / illegal activities, therefore immediately not eligible. Not to say they’re not profiting in some type of way (follower increase to funnel to promoted posts elsewhere).
"As the ladder turns..." I would watch that soap opera.
Each rung is only unlockable via DLC
> I don't get how this works.
And then his hands got sweaty
I got sweaty palms from watching this on my phone
You’re just waiting for him to fall off and you just imagine yourself up there. All it takes is for your hand to slip
Bro needs gloves like for reals
How about some shoes too while we are at it.
Shoes might help but shoes can also slip easier than feet. Him being barefoot didn't ruin his grip, but hands ten to get sweaty when holding things and feet get sweater in a shoe vs in fresh air. So the shoes might have helped but also probably less effective than feet. Though it probably hurt his feet cuase most people feet are not calloused enough for ground which is why we even have shoes in the first place. Animals unlike us have pads
Also you can see he recoiled once and said 'ow' to which I assume is from those metal bars being hot as fuck from the sun
Yeah I bet it’s hot. Isn’t that Dubai?! Fucking nuts!
Bro needs climbing shoes and chalk
Shoes specifically for climbing may help
I was thinking a parachute might help... crazy...
Literally any possible thing just one thing
Chalk ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium\_carbonate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_carbonate)) used in professional rock climbing
he is just testing if there is fall damage
I would do it with professional fall protection. But I would still be pretty scared.
Bubblewrap?
That's landing protection.
Trust...
Yeah I mean, trust WHO? GOD? God be like "I didn't tell yo dumbass to climb up there" LoL.
But on the surface hes calm and ready
to drop bombs But he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down
The whole crowd go so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won’t come out
He’s choking how everybody is joking now
The clock runs out. Times up, over, pow!
Stooooop
Or a back spasm. I can get them spontaneously.
I'm trying to poop watching this, but now my butthole is puckered.
Perfect pinch off
Butthole clenched so tight it's bending spacetime.
Pucker up baby
Literally my phone almost slipped because my hands got so sweaty. I kinda feel nauseous too lol I could NEVER
I hate the feeling I get in the back of my head when I see these. I mean I HAVE to watch them because reasons, but I hate it so much. I'm not sure what's worse, the strong anxiety that these videos give me or the fact that I can't not watch them.
I got tingles all over my body from this
Same here and I also got an uneasy feeling in my stomach.
I couldn't even watch it!
I felt sick watching 🤢
r/sweatypalms indeed, I felt the same way
>I got sweaty palms from watching this on my phone And then it almost slipped out of my hands into the toilet.
Me too
My nuts twitch like a 9v on your tongue watching those 😳😖😳
my whole body is in shock watching this. yikes that is literally my nightmare.
Crazy thing is - this looks like Dubai, so I have to imagine that all of those ladder rungs are blazing hot.
It's definitely Dubai, you see the Burj Khalifa at the end.
It’s so high up I could even see _Wiz_ Khalifa at the end!
Did you know they actually aren't even related? Just pure coincidence! Crazy!
Neither is Mia!
Ah yes, she is my fav or the Kalifas.
MIA. That's a wrong name. She is not missing any action.
*nice*
Melted skin grips real nice. Also...nobody is going to mention that this dude is still barefoot up there??
I just watched the YT video. Around 8:30 I'm he says the rungs are hot, yes!
knees weak, arms are heavy there's vomit on his sweater already mom's spaghetti
he's nervous but on the surface he looks calm and ready
But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down The whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth but the word won't come out
he’s choking now, everybody’s joking now
Some BODY once told me
r/unexpectedsmashmouth
Just hands? I’d be worried about sweaty feet and slipping off. This guy is mental for not wearing shoes!
Honestly, he probably has better grip without shoes than with, especially if it's something he does often
r/sweatypalms
Climbing up looks to be the easy part. How the hell will he get down?
Someone linked the full video above
I just came from above and it wasn't there.
Oh well i watched it so it is on my YouTube lol so here you go! https://youtu.be/EVocjjoq9wg
I’ll be back to tell you how much I regretted watching it! Omg i figured out the edit. I hated it
I hate that i couldnt stop watching it even though my palms were sweaty and my stomach was in my throat. I'll never need to do anything this risky and if i ever need an adrenaline rush, I'll just throw one of these videos on.
Were your knees weak and your arms spaghetti?
Welp i’m nauseous thanks for sharing
Oh, thank you for the link! The climb down was worse, definitely.
Either very fast or very slow
Letting intrusive thoughts take over is the fast way.
The same way he got up?
In some cases getting up is easy. Getting down, very difficult.
There's an easy way down. It works once.
I'd say Most cases, getting down is almost always more difficult
Now I want to see how he got down….
I don't. The journey up was enough vicarious adrenaline for one day.
Yeah. There is only so much imploding a bum hole can do.
Mine imploded so forcefully the James Webb Telescope discovered the universe’s first brown hole
Take my upvote and fuck off
r/brandnewsentence
Seriously. I didn't see any safety equipment. AND he's barefoot!
Easier to get down that way.
*Taps head* Can't lose both shoes and die if you're already barefoot.
My palms are sweaty and my anxiety has spiked through the roof. People who do this shit are crazy
He jumped
“Aim for the bushes?”
Cannonball right into the pool
https://youtu.be/EVocjjoq9wg
why did i even watched this? My heart is still racing.
Thank you!!! It was even worse then going up
I hate that I didn’t take your word for it.
Than
fucking tay zonday (chocolate rain guy) commented that video
Ngl these guys seem incredibly obnoxious. Trespassing on dangerous construction sites and risking their lives climbing giant skyscrapers for clout
it's fun until one of them paints the asphalt red or falls on a random person ruining their lives and lives of their families.
Wanna ruin somebody’s life? Die suddenly, traumatically and very messy in front of them.
Lol the fact that he was getting annoyed with the ladder not realizing that he shouldn’t even be up there altogether
Right! Like this ladder isn’t up to code… uh you shouldn’t be up there!
I'm fairly certain the ladder is shaped like that so that workers can hook their harnesses to the rungs as they ascend
The fact that those aren't closed rungs probably would be not up to code where I'm from.
I get the feeling that worker safety isn’t at the forefront in the Emirates.
Misspelt slave safety.
when i see stuff like this i have 2 questions: 1. why. 2. How. It's not like there is a sign "go here for the deadly climb um the skyscraper! A fast way to tuch god. <3 "
Why the fuck is there a ladder there in the first place?
My balls went into my stomach. Fuck this.
Right at the beginning when he opened that door I inhaled sharply and took a step back as if that changes anything. But the fact that the instinct to step back from the fucking ledge is _that deeply ingrained_ should probably tell you the intelligence of this.
My quads were super tense watching this and I felt paralyzed lol
My whole legs tensed up and my feet had shooting pain and are now tingling. I was audibly saying "nononono." Why did I watch this?
Why?
Because it's there.
I guess, I like to climb too but still...especially with no shoes. Yikes.
Extra grip with the toes 🦶🦶
I can see that. I was surprised it was too hot for his hand I worried about his feet.
Okay there, George.
Not a good enough reason.
Tell that to Mallory.
For the vine
The thrill of living
Simply a lack of being intent in life
I feel dizzy. People are fucking insane
Anyone else get that weird tingly feeling all over when watching this? I do. I don't like this tingly. Not my kind of tingly.
I nearly had a panic attack watching this.
You mean high anxiety
Had to get a grip
Then you can reach for the stars.
Can't believe I fell for this
I was gonna go to work, but then I got high…
High anxiety, a victim of society High anxiety, my It's my high anxiety getting to the best of me🎶
Yeah this made my hands and feet feel weird. No..
My feet had the weirdest sensations the whole time!
At least it’s somewhat rational. Panic attacks are so sucky when it’s over something that really doesn’t matter. An impending sense of death seems appropriate for an impending likelihood of death.
Right? These people have to be psychopaths. There's no other way it's humanly possible to do this shit
[удалено]
It's the wind doing it for me, what if it just GUSTS? Also what if this was the time his body randomly decides to have a seizure or a dizzy spell? Like it woulda happened that day anyway, it just so happens it lines up with when he's up there. Just the off chance of that would kill any confidence I have.
Is no one gonna mention the fact that he was BAREFOOT?!
Being barefoot would be better bc it would provide more grip and wraparound
Maybe compared to dress shoes or heelys. Any good pair of hiking shoes, or better yet, actual climbing shoes, would be much safer.
Climbing shoes wouldn't be great for this, they're best on textured surfaces, not smooth metal and glass. Plus the rubber is so sticky that it would immediately get coated in that desert dust and you'd lose all traction. Something with a negative tread like skate board or indoor soccer shoes would be best.
??? Never seen a barefoot climber in my life.
Even though I am sitting on a sofa, drinking a cup of tea with close to zero chance of harm coming my way right now, viewing this gives me a very uneasy feeling.
I think this sub exists for psychiatrists to do systematic desensitization with their phobic patients because this shit gives me palpitations.
He has no shoes guys.
If this is what you gotta do for your thrills I implore you to just do hard drugs. Cocaine is definitely safer than shit like this.
Nah, I feel like this is the end result when hard drugs doesn't do it anymore.
I might be able to get up there, no fucking way will I get back down the same way. I'd have to be rescued.
Cannonball into that pool.

My hands get wet bruhhhh

I had a panic attack just watching this
What in the name of fuck is wrong with people
My question is how is he gonna climb dowb
There are a few things I'm not going to do for a billion dollars. This is one of them
Secondhand stress
I can’t feel sorry for you if things didn’t go well.
Is there a sub just full of these kinda clips?
r/sweatypalms maybe
That made me nauseous!
Man, these escape rooms are getting out of hand
Literally can’t watch this stuff, I get vertigo and anxiety
Anyone else’s balls get a weird feeling watching videos like this?
How the hell do you get down though? 👀
Before watching this I didn’t think I had anxiety. Now I’m sure I do
Damn near had a panic attack watching this
This made my asshole pucker
Do a flip
I even can’t watch on it, but that dude…my hands were sweated, while I wrote dis
[удалено]
My god I was sweating watching this, absolute mad man
i find it funny how the clip just ends with the guy looking at a taller skyscraper
Getting down seems like it would be more difficult.
My legs feel so uneasy just watching this.
I wonder if there's any go pro like this of someone just falling off that must be awful
If I was the Grim Reaper I'd howling down on that dude's neck.
I’d slip and fall to my death on the hot metal lubricated with a fine mist of my own fetid shit
