As for the harness, you need to find something you're going to be
comfortable climbing in. If you have always used a belt, there are many
harnesses designed like a belt with an integrated PFAS (personal fall arrest
system).
Here are a few affordable harnesses I recommend:

There are a couple of places where you can go for tower climbing
certification. They're obviously aimed at the professional climber and the
certs are
now typically required to be hired.

Safe Tower Climbing and Safe Tower Work procedures including Tool use etc.
OTOH I wrote tower climbing columns in both the NCJ and the defunct
CQ Contest magazine for a total of over 10 years. I'm hoping to reprint all
of them in an upcoming book.
OTOOH I'm about 1/2 way done finally finishing my
way-behind-schedule tower book which I'm hoping will be out by Dayton in
May.
