Crazy, brave or something else? Technicians brave heights for...

This is not a job for the faint of heart and terrified of heights.

The National Park Service has released video of technicians examining the outside of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.

The videos were shot on GoPro cameras attached to the worker's helmets in October, but was just posted on YouTube last week.

The first gives a 360 degree view from the top.

A second video, shows workers goving over the edge of the monument.

Dave Megerle told the St. Louis Public Radio the job was supposed to be five days, but ended up taking 11 due to wind.
