00:00This is 1987 in New York, and this guy is moving with the kind of confidence you only get from
00:05supporting a family of five on a single paycheck. This is what ironwork looked like before modern
00:09safety rules. He's climbing a vertical steel column hundreds of feet above the streets with
00:14no harness, no safety net, just leather gloves and pure grip strength. One mistake up there and it's
00:19over. And look at the weight he's carrying. That tool belt is packed with heavy spud wrenches,
00:24bolts, and steel tools. Probably another 40 pounds hanging from his waist while he climbs. He's
00:28basically doing weighted pull-ups just to get to work. And once he reaches the top, he doesn't
00:32even stop to rest. He walks across a four-inch steel beam like it's a sidewalk. Then comes the
00:37slide back down. These ironworkers broke all the rules and still got it done perfectly.
