It grows pretty quick. If I want to grow it back I can be in a ponytail in about 15 months. But, this does feel awesome!

I've never been blessed with fast growing and thick hair.

My hair looks like ass, and on top of that, my head has a funny shape so I can't even pull off the bald look very well.

I'm doomed.

Did you keep the clippings? Send them to me, I'll have a wig fashioned out of it!:ROFLMAO:
 
A mate just found this vid on YT with me and him in it!
We met at a music college in the early 90's doing a luthier course.
We both went on to illustrious careers (not making guitars) in the rope access construction industry, including a stint on the Millennium Dome in London.
Skip to 9:45 to see me (briefly) on the right (camo jacket) and Sid on the left.
All in Spanish for some reason!

You and @Sp8ctre should get along well. He also works from high places.
 
The tallest thing I ever abseiled (rappelled?) off was the QE2 Bridge in Dartford at 450 ft.
No shots available though because it was a night shift. The Dartford Crossing is a Toll Bridge so we could only close off lanes at night when it wasn't busy.
I was part of a team cleaning off and repainting the cables that suspend the road deck.
So I had to abseil off the top of one of the caissons to release a Tirfor winch.
It might not count though as the Tirfor was about 20 ft down and I climbed straight back up afterwards! ;)
The winds were too high to continue down to the road deck 275 ft below.
Luckily each caisson had a lift in it.

On the Millennium Dome me and Sid did get the chance to climb one of the 12 yellow legs each for a jolly.
They are 100M (324 ft) tall but lean against the weight of the dome, so 95M to the ground (311 ft).
The climb was similar to yours @Sp8ctre, with a fall arrest wire.
The tricky bit was climbing out of the cage at the top to sit on the beacon!

Here's a better vid (shorter/less Spanish).
