Changing the light bulb on a 1500' (450m) TV Tower

Somebody has to change out that lightbulb at the top of those tall TV towers!

This is tower climber Kevin Schmidt making the climb to the very top of the now inactive KDLT TV analog broadcast antenna near Salem, SD.

It was a beautiful fall day for a climb and the views are stunning! I would suggest watching at 1080 HD in full screen to get a small taste of the experience.

why is this in the wings channel? Just because the footage was shot on a drone doesn't mean the video is about flying.

"Awww fuck, I forgot the BULB!"

I thought that the video by a flying thing and clearly from an aerial point of view was enough to qualify, but I don't feel strongly about it, and have amended the channel selection accordingly.

You would have thought it worth their while to add a sequence of lights which light up as each one fails.
Mind you, i'd love this job! what a view

My legs would be like rubber after climbing up 1500 ft.

The job of my nightmares!
Amazing view though.

Can he just parachute down? The climb down is probably a heck of a lot scarier.
