Upon the request from the consulting engineers of the tallest tower on the planet, who were supervising the job, Ivan Kristoff had to finish earlier, but still paid the same amount regardless if he had to work less time. Even though this was convenient for him, Ivan declared that he will complete his mission within the new time schedule, without compromising the quality and expected results.

A lot of the time of the work at high elevation was spent on over safety and extra precautions for risk free vertical and horizontal access on the slopes of the tallest Antenna Mast in the world. No one has ever dealt with the obstacles and challenges that Ivan Kristoff had to meet at such a high profile and confidential project before. Anything Ivan had to prepare for this job and conduct on the exterior of the Highest Observation Desk at this time, was well organized and monitored by the best professionals and strictest standards on safety.

Now, things had to be revised. In order to fulfill his own expectation and complete the task within the limited time, Ivan drew in his vision what he calls The Smart Risk line before continuing his work progress. So far, Ivan exceeded the expectations for safety, higher and stricter even of these set by the Construction Occupational Health and Safety laws, set by the Ontario Ministry of Labor. He was secured by his higher attached rope, plus one extra line from the left, one extra line from the right and believe it or not- one line form the back, attached to the lower part of the slope, where he was working. The forces of the winds, sometimes above 60km/h, were too strong to ignore. You can figure it out for yourself, how many lines had to be adjusted for even moving one step in progress. A lot of time had to be wasted and a lot of energy had to be consumed from every movement. But now he had to go easier and move faster. The time was clicking.
