How about being on top of a 2,600+ foot tall Skyscraper, Burj Khalifa?

I love this picture. It was given to me along with a picture of a man seemingly climbing a wire up the side of a building, for my wedding present. I always wanted to know the story behind it.

My heart started beating fast as hell when I saw the pic lol, I'm generally not scared of heights but that's a bit much for me.

man, those guys had absolutely NO fear..
Lots of them started as young boys taking water to the construction workers so were used to heights.
