Just About the First Question We Get is:
Okay, what exactly is a *STEEPLEJACK* / anyway?
Think of a *LumberJack* / I'm sure you've heard the
"Name"
*Lumberjack* ... A lumberjack fells trees & works with lumber.
Originally / A Steeplejack was someone who worked on
the top steeples of the tallest buildings, which (in the mid~nineteenth~century) were mostly
Churches ... the name was first added
to our lexicon in writings from England around this time. During the
building of the Boulder~Hoover Dam in the 1930's the men who rode the high
ropes were called "High~Scalers."
From 1852 / *OLD~ENGLISH*
steeple·jack· (jak′)
A Noun:

Dictionary, 11th Edition (2003)
Date: 1852: A person whose work is building
smokestacks, towers, or steeples / or
