I think that's a pretty good, simple explanation. I had an acute fear of heights not all that long ago, but it subsided as my desire to 'get the shot' has grown. So throw that in to the somewhat randomly swaying crane, and things get hairy. Anyway, here's hoping I get another shot at making it to the cab, though I don't know that it'll get any easier as the crane gets higher. Perhaps they'll add another anchor point in the near future and the saying won't be as bad.
Anyway, here's a big update for you from my monthly update for Walsh. The goal of this trip was to get some glass installation action, but I was there a little too early. To kill some time, we went into the core formwork and climbed the tower crane.
