Myself, and everyone on my crew refuses to climb it.  I left out the
part about the fact that we purchased a company who owned this tower.
They erected it, and I was seeing if it was possible to get this tower
in a safe position.

I'd like to see the look on my crews faces if I asked any of them to
climb
it. :)

I'm glad you're climbing it and not me.  The correct guy  postion is
about 
80% from the base, or around 120 feet.  The tower is an  accident
waiting to

happen in a strong wind.  I imagine it is "exciting" to  climb.  Guys 
should be 3/16 EHS.  My guess is it only has four guy  points at most,
and
was 
not erected by a tower company
 
Complete info can be found on the Rohn site.
