And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My brother and I used to take 500 feet of rope, climb and repel off anything. If the vertical is not true, if the bimetallic corrosion got there first.
Yes, I would climb it for a million dollars but not less than that.
I wouldn't do it for money. I could be shamed into doing it. My wife does that to me all the time. "well, if you won't do (insanely dangerous thing), I will just have to do it myself". When I was younger I might have done it just to jump off (with a parachute, for fun, not from depression).
(a) they climbed with a safety line - where's the balls in that?

What happened to "no sky to high, no sea to deep, no muff to tough?"
No.
