Could not handle tower climbing. My hands are getting sweaty just looking at this picture.
I watched a video yesterday of someone climbing down a high rise on a tether to work on an A/C unit. Even seeing all the steps in protection and redundant safety measures. Nope. Not me.
Then there was one long ago I saw of a guy doing maintenance on a radio tower. Climbed up the interior ladder most of the way, then got on the outside to get to the part he was checking. At one point he had to disconnect and reconnect his safety line because of stuff in the way. NOPE.
This is why you need to wear two lines.
