Noah Nava started his job as a rope access window cleaner in Edmonton this season. 

Three weeks into the job, he's getting used to the feeling of climbing onto the roof of a 100-metre highrise building, then leaning back and resting the full weight of his body on a rope that's one centimetre thick.
