Anyone suicidal enough? :D

[Lynn LeFey]

Hell, for 200 million, I would scale the wall without a rope and hook.

Oh, no! For 2 hundred million, you have to do it USING the Engage MT.

Now, THAT's suicidal!

Hmmmmm, 200 million for scaling a wall using a Engage......here, hold mah beer...........

[Lynn LeFey]

Can't hold your beer. I'm holding my own. And my other hand is holding my backup beer.

[ducttapetech]

Alright, I just drink mine and my backup beer real quick......

[ducttapetech]

Lmao! This made me remember a Bud commercial, "would you do it for a 12 pack of Bud?"

[Lichtbote]

Interesting.  Never would have believed that was a preferred method of scaling a wall.  At least for me, you couldn't pay me enough to take that risk. 

"Preferred" is the wrong word, it´s not easy, is dangerous, it hurts, ..... i believe everyone loves to use the stairs. 

But when it´s the best chance to not being shot and to fulfill the order .... you would do it that way, and that for the small payment, too.

Given a low enough window, and a high enough payday, I'd do it.

Second story window.
Would you do it for a thousand?

Usually it was for the story above the ground level story, do you call that the second story? Here it is "ground level story" , "first upper story" , "second upper story" , ...... - i would guess 4-6m, depending on the building. In reality not that high, but enough to be dangerous.

For a story above that we had a sort of corded/jacobs-ladder - assembled it looked like a big hook on top of a really long aluminium stick, with some steelropes on its sides sticking out. You placed the hook somewhere you thought i will hold the weight, then pulled on the end and the alu stick disassembled itself to the single ladder runs. Then pray that it´s hook is safe and climb.


Far away from thousand. More around 200 dollar per month. 

At that time Germany had no profession army, every male and healthy man had to do his military service (or in exchange something for the community, rescue service or so)  for such a small basic pay,  a little bit more if you volunteerd for a longer timeframe.

Today they pay better.    But you do not volunteer to be paratrooper/airborne for the money. And it helps to be a little bit nuts.

Yes, what most of Western Europe calls the 1st floor, Americans call the 2nd floor.  (ie in the US, you enter on the 1st floor and walk up one flight to the second floor)

U. S. Rangers used rocket-propelled grappling hooks in their attack on Pointe du Hoc on D-Day.

[JAfromMn]

I've wanted one of these for awhile now.

I am more than willing to climb with adventurous anchors (v threads)

But a grappling hook is just a bad idea

Don't you want a rap ring or bail biner between those two pieces of nylon, mate?

[HarleyXJGuy]

Heck, for two hundred million, I'd sing the praises of the Engage MT!

Wait I thought you already said it was your fave MT?

If they paid you that much I want some for my part in the story.
