I've sold a couple of hundred Trylon Titan towers over the years
and have only sold one or two safety rail systems - they've just too danged
expensive. You might be able to adapt a cable system but that still entails
hundreds of bucks plus some clever engineering and fabrication.
Yes, climbing a tower by leapfrogging your lanyards is tedious but
it's safe and there are pretty limited options.
