Climbing belts are out. Full body harnesses are what we should be using today.  If you are not comfortable the stay off and hire a professional or find some help.  They do make pretty small lifts these days especially for that height.

Be safe!

Hello all,

I have a 20 foot aluminum self standing tower with a 15 foot steel mast inside.

The spacing is so narrow at the top half of the tower I just can seem to get
situated to work. My feet press together in the tower and with my eyes
at the 20 foot level the tower comes to a point so no lateral stability above 
the waist.

Ten years ago it was easy - it seems.

I have a climbing belt but am considering a ladder this time or any other
trick short of an exterior lift since it wont fit in the gate.

Any suggestions welcome!
