According to director Scott Mann, the idea came to him while he was shooting Final Score at a stadium in the U.K.: "We were filming at height, and off camera we got into this interesting conversation about height and the fear of falling and how that's inside of all of us, really, and how that can be a great device for a movie."

They wait until dark and fire a flare gun they found in an emergency box on the pole. The pair later notice two men camping in an RV nearby and attempt to get their attention to no avail. Hunter tries sending a message for help by packing her phone in one of her shoes and dropping it out of range of the interference, but the phone is destroyed upon impact with the ground before the message transmits. ![]() They try to use their cellphones, but suspect that radio interference from the communications dish is blocking the signal.

As they begin their descent, however, the ladder breaks, stranding them several hundred feet above the next intact section and almost 2,000 feet above ground. The next day, Hunter and Becky arrive and successfully climb a severely corroded ladder to a tiny platform at the top of the tower, where Becky scatters the ashes, finally letting Dan go.
