Amen to that!
Being a pilot which is a rehlm as unforgiving as climbing towers I think a
lot of the habits and preperation carry over.
I seldom climb much over a 100 to 150 feet any more, but even then I do not
take a casual approach. Like flying, I check my equipment prior to a climb,
and I plan out the climb. One thing I've learned, unless I'm only climbing
to do a specific job I know that most times the climb is going to take
longer than the original plan and I allow for that.
