When I lived in Queensland I was employed to go up cliffs and dislodge dangerous rocks by hand, well, using a pad that I slid into the gaps in the cliff face and then inflated.
An excellent way to make some coin.
The access gear we used maxed out at 15 stories high.
Oversize testicles would be a prerequisit of the job methinks.
Never too old to Rock n Roll.

I've got miserly tourettes and I don't give a fuck.
It was a while ago mate - I have several bits set aside for the long cold winter of our discount tents.
Was rummaging around in the shed and found this photo, I'd say they are about 8 stories high, and the rock that as been dislodged is the size of a small car, if you look closely the operator of the hydraulic arm is located at its base, This rock came down right above him,smashed into his rig, he packed himself, and then left the site.
When our boss returned a few hours later with a gut full of piss we were sitting on
the grass and the crane was nowhere to be seen and refused to ever come back.
