So that after 34ft, there's no sense in making it any taller.
Any truth to that, or is it just a rumor?

I can tell you its not true as far as I am concernced.
In my line of work I constantly find myself on things much higher than 34', 105' Aerial Platforms, hanging from ths side of a high-rise structure, cliff faces, etc... I am still scared crapless each and every time I am subjected to it. I am confident in my equipment, but that changes nothing.
Someone said it best earlier, "if you cant face your fears they will control you."
