I've never climbed a 300 foot fiberglass ladder.
Seriously, how tall of a ladder are you climbing?
The higher you go, the more certain your death. I've been on a 30 foot
ladder and it sucked, didn't feel right whatsoever and I finished that
activity right then.
I'll take a 300 foot tower with a steel ladder, safety harness and hooks
over that 30 foot aluminum ladder any day of the week!

Question for you experts: if it is forbidden to free climb a tower, why is
it OK to free climb a ladder? Not trying to argue, just curious. I never
climb towers, but often climb ladders. I keep asking myself why I should
feel so safe on a ladder. (It is somewhat easier to fall off a tower,
admittedly).
