Mike,,, by far,, the easiest thing for you to do is hire a tree service with
a bucket truck ...Most of them will go to 60 feet
So, you can go up in the bucket to see what needs to be done,, and do some
of it yourself !!! Great Solution !! Dan N4GNR

Subject: [TowerTalk] Climbing advice
Hello all,
I was finally able to get my tower upright. It's 50' and 54' to the top of
the mast, freestanding. Nothing big by many of your standards, but it's a
city lot, so have some limitations.
My problem is that I'm having difficulty climbing it. I used to climb, when
I was younger and a little less wise (teens), but it's been about 25 years
since I've done it. I'm still plenty young enough to do this physically,
but just can't seem to get myself up high enough to be useful.
I can easily pay someone to come out and do the work to get the antennas
and stuff up there, which is fine. However, i feel that I should at least
be able to do some of my own work for maintenance and such, and not always
paying someone to climb it for me.
Do any of you climbers have any advice that could possibly help me get over
this thing in my head?
73,
Mike ND9G
