I'll bring a hip flask, just in case the performers need a little extra pazazz.

fair play to you lads. Untold bottle.
i worked in cradles, painting years ago 11 floors plus, and that was scary enough.
F**k sitting in a harness, at least therewas a wooden floor under me.
same principal though i suppose?

paulq1979, what's the procedure, do you fix ropes and then do a x meter wide clean top to bottom, then return to the top, shift ropes over and start again?
Or is there some sort of system which moves the rope anchor point along the side of the building so you can clean the whole length side to side in one go, drop down, do the next floor etc?
Do you use regular climbing harnesses or something with a "seat"?

I used to be in a coastguard cliff rescue team and going up and down cliffs in a harness was quite good fun
Just as long as it wasn't a loose crumbly cliff. That's when you were glad of the hard hat ![EEK!](images/smilies/eek.gif)
I then progressed to being a lifeboatman. Getting winched down from a Coastguard Sikorsky S61 chopper to an Arun class lifeboat which was rising and falling 15 feet in an Atlantic swell was.............interesting![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

300 quid a day, not bad, our Oracle contractors get 350, must make a point of introducing new working practises that involve extreme danger to get the moneys worth out of the buggers !

Respect to the original poster and his ***** of steel
. I did a 70m bungy jump once from a crane over water and almost soiled my keks. ![Embarrassment](images/smilies/redface.gif)
BTW I used to work in the UBS building at 100 Liverpool Street - is that the one you are working on?
