Hi Guys!

I did this last year - for Enable. Well worth it. It's a great experience.

Here are a few snaps we took on our way :D

The Approach

The halfway point

Up on top at the control cabin

The lifting mechanism

Other side - view onto the Clyde (It's pretty windy!)
Image

No turning back now!

The official photographer

The very top of the crane

Cheers,
YMC
