Some years ago, I was in a hanging belay 200 odd metres up on the arete formed by 2 overhanging sides on a tower that narrowed and leaned over at the top. After a while I stopped looking down to watch Anthony as I kept getting the impression that the whole tower was slowly tipping further and further over as I looked down. I suspect this sensation would be somewhat worse on this tower.

We should build one of these on top of Malcolm's house - his foundations are way more impressive

That is hardly true.
There are plenty of natural walls of over 37m!
There an artificial wall on a dam that is around 70m
