It's all in your mind...i just climbed a 100 ' ladder a few days ago for the first time and I can tell you that yes it is very high, the best thing to do is not to look up but look straight at your hands, take it one step at a time and breath each step you take...coming from a guy who was mindfucked by these videos before I climbed it and thought I was terrified of heights..truly it was all in my head

sure beats the corporate ladder.

I'm going through the process of becoming a volunteer firefighter now, and I'm terrified of heights. But I know it's something I'll have to suck up and deal with.

What a thrill...with darkness and silence through the night... What a thrill...

I'm afraid of heights, and just watching this on my computer, I was nervous. I'm not even there, either!

I'm not really bothered by confined spaces, but i am absolutely terrified of heights! I get scared climbing a deer stand, I don't know if I could handle climbing a ladder that high!

Heck yeah looks fun :)

If he's on a belay line, it means nothing. The mental part is a lot of this kind of maneuver. For example - put aplank on the sidewalk and ask someone to walk it. No problem. Put that plank 30 feet in the air between 2 buildings, and your mind will mess with you physically...your thioughts abouit falling make you more apt to fall.

I'm going to have to do this in a few months! Part of me is so stoked, and the other part not so much hahaha Builds confidence though!

so I guess you didn't finish? lol. great job man. I'm a training officer for a large full time department. slow and easy, and you'll win the race.

I wanna do this But from the other side. Now that sounds like a sick send👌

I’ve climbed a 200 foot mountain wall and this 100 foot ladder still gets me from the video lol

I love confined spaces. this scares me S***less

That's what a fucking nope looks like boys.

Climb that tiller ladder boyy!!!!

Don't look at the reflection, down or up. Just forward.

I rode with the Denver Fire Department on Truck 12 and climbed the aerial at full extension 110' high

when I was three I new every single thing of equipment

Damn. I'm gonna go through the fire academy at my college, probably 2015, but crap, I have a major fear of heights. Not sure how I'm going to be able to do this. Well, by the time it rolls around, I'll be in shape and ready to go.

Cool.

This is my dream job

2013: no 2014: no 2015: no 2016: no 2017: no 2018: no 2019: SHOW THEM ALL

Oh man I thought you didn’t have a safety rope. Lol I’m good

Do you have a harness in case you lose your grip?

For those of you laying on your beds/couches saying this is easy go annoy someone else’s video. This isn’t just a mental test this is physically exhausting. This makes a stair master look like cake. Your fire suit, boots, mask, gloves and all the other crap you have to wear weighs you down. It also makes you hot and sweaty during the climb. It’s easy to talk trash from your phone or computer but many of you couldn’t do this.

like the 5 inch

what angle?

Almost as cool as Aggie Bonfire

I'm quite sure you will nevre get in a IRL situation where the ladder has to be set at full lenght, in a straight line. but ofc, you have to be able to do it, jst in case.. but still.

Oh hell no,.....I couldn't do it.

Firemen

Are you always harnessed on to the ladder, or is it different for each department?

leary huh

u guys are afraid I'm mine and I done that already

Nothing to it......if you can't do it, you don't belong there
