Jack,

Not me in the pic. The pic was taken from a service platform. That area is not nearly as impressive looking as a rigger walking the boom.As I said, I work for the manufacturer. I've been way up in the air on work platforms and present on the crane, but in the cab or on a catwalk only. I don't do rigging or get in the air very often.

Call that 'walking back' if you want.

For reference, you can see a service platform above the hook block, along with the cab on a smaller model.
