We actually used to have a guy that worked with us that changed those bulbs at the tops of towers. He stopped doing it because he smartened up he said (at the young age of 55) but he told me he used to be able to charge some clients up to $15k for one tower, more then one lamp. Not too much competition to drive the price down I guess.

I couldn't do it. I have climbed up inside of a tower on our building at work, that is maybe 110ft tall (plus 30 or so for the building) but it is eclosed all the way up and isn't really that bad unless the wind is blowing. Climbing up the outside is nuts.
