Bravery . . . . Dedication. - Scifi-Meshes.com

**gpdesigner** · 09-06-2007, 02:26 PM

I looked up and saw this climber ready to rig part of a roof hoist for a concert stage and I thought how crazy he was . . . . I started to frame the picture to capture the dedication this guy has, but I realized that him just climbing the truss was not enough to express just how brave the young man was . . . so I stepped back and reframed the image . . .

what was amazing was not that this guy was climbing truss 55 feet off the ground, not even the fact that he was not sucured to the truss at all . . .

When I stepped back to reframe the image properly I included the tent to the left which shows the wind blowing at atleast 30 mph . . . so in the air were he was it must have been blowing atleast 45 to 50 mph . . .
Thats dedication.

Dude. . . I have total respect for riggers and climbers. They do some pretty awesome stuff for shows. it took a month to build this setup and 2 weeks to strike it.

Bravery .... I'd call it stupidity.

Someone risking his life for building a stage ... that is definately not brave.
