AMAZING TOWER CLIMBERS

RNS Tower Climbers!
Its not possible to watch this without sweaty palms!
The new Skywalk, right at the top of Centrepoint, is 260m feet above street level.
This tower is over twice that!
Just wait for the cartoon intro to finish, then hold on to your seat.

I am going to KILL you.

If I ever stop shaking long enough to get back out the front door, that is . . .

I suspect your memory may be a trifle unreliable.
