| It is beyond me why anyone would want to climb a crank-up fully extended or
fully retracted.  I have a 54 foot Hy gain crank-up here.  I have NEVER
climbed it.  I use a real ingenious method its called a ladder.  I use a 30
foot extension ladder to reach the antenna.  Either that or tilt the tower
over.  
A 30 foot extension ladder will reach the top of any crank-up when fully
retracted. 
Anyone who trys to climb a crankup (extended or retracted) needs their head
examined.
