Doug - how can you free climb and not have only one hand on the tower?
Every time you release your hand to move it up the tower you only have
one hand on the tower. What if that hand slips?
That sounds scary to me. Maybe that is why I don't climb towers or
trees any more. 73

I have said this many times before. If you can't 'free climb' then you
SHOULD NOT be climbing at all. The use of a gorilla hook has it's place -
for resting or at the work station. But IMO it should not be used to assist
the climb! Every time you have to hook and unhook the gorilla hook it means
you only have one hand left on the tower. That to me is unsafe. With free
climbing, both hands are available to grab the tower. If you can't free
climb - don't climb.
