... It looks to me like the bloke is risking a fall onto a static rope / belay?

Thanks ajf for sorting it on Chocky.

Disappointingly small isn't it?

I always thought it was huge because of the perspective its always shown from but with the person for scale in this video I feel a bit deflated...

Ballsy without any runners. Nice quality filming.

How is concrete damaged by lightening?

And how does chiselling it help?

I'd guess the smooth outer layer needs to be maintained to keep it weather proof, he'd have to chisel the loose stuff away in preparation for filling it.

Look closely, they are chiselling off mosaic tiles. Also Eduardo, I'd sit on the other hand if you were chiselling - if the photos of you in the select guide are anything to go on.
