You would not catch me up there without a safety harness or two.  I must say that I admire those who can do stuff like that.

A couple of men were once cleaning windows on a high building two floors above ground. One of the guys did not have his safety harness attached properly. He fell and a fence impaled his chest cavity while many watched. A couple of heart surgeons tried to do CPR but he was dead.

My grandfather once told me about how they would hire Native Americans to work on those skyscrapers or just tall buildings like motels and stuff because back the day they had been trained to have perfect balance and could walk on tree branches and narrow cliff faces.  So when it came to walking on high steel girders, it was like second nature for them.

Looks FANTASTIC,,,,,,,,not too sure about whether I would or not these days,probably "yes" but with a safety harness      In my day's of youth with more guts than brains I would not have thought twice about getting up on that beam,,,,,,,that's all it would have been to me,I was a gymnast and no fear of heights,,,,,,,,I never thought about "falling",youth is definitely wasted on the YOUNG-lol (that was my grandma's favorite saying)    I was most assuredly  my parents worst fears & worries come true,,,,,,,,,,,,,,                                                                          With love-in Christ,Kwik
