Heck yes I would. I don't care how many times it took to climb it either... I'd get it done.

Best shot of the entire series was the self portrait.

After having done some tower work in the past -- I would undoubtable go for it.

He did a great job with the shots too, under a lot of pressure, and two previous attempts!

But I'd be all over this with bells on!

As much as I'd love the opportunity, I'm afraid I couldn't do that. I'd freeze up or throw up or both.

As much as I would love to, I think I would fail. Even if I did get up there, I would be shaking tooo much to get the shot.
