He is climbing the Main.
Attaching the pulley wires is the give away.
Wouldn't make much sense to attach the SUPPORTING Wire to a section that
is being supported my the trolley that is being supported BY the cable.
Not to mention that I think it would be a bit difficult to pull off (Pun
intended)
And the pricing is a bit stiff
But from what I have seen, the price of the tower AND the hazer is
rather stiff as well. This is an e-mail snippet from them
Ron,WB6MSS, and I are reducing our inventory. We have 33, 41.4, and 50
foot towers. Discounted prices of $1895, 2195, and 2495, respectively.

Purchases subject to applicable sales taxes.
Purchases may be subject to duties for deliveries outside the US.
Prices subject to change at any time.
NOTES:
1. Actual tower height is to the top of the mast which holds the
antenna. For example, a 10-meter tower consists of three 2.5-meter tower
sections, plus the mast, making a total height of 10 meters. 2. The
buyer is responsible for obtaining all local or county building and
tower permits. 3. The buyer is responsible for removing the tower from
the freight truck (if applicable) when it is delivered. The weight of
each tower section ranges from about 170 pounds to about 270 pounds.
Please arrange for help in off-loading. You will need a tool to cut the
steel strap which binds the load. 4. Towers are drop-shipped from
Australia to the most practical U.S. Port of Entry nearest you. You may
have your tower shipped from the designated Port of Entry, but we
suggest that you pick up your tower at the designated Port Of Entry.

Hi Gary,
I don't think he is climbing on the offset section.
I think he is climbing on the second section after it has been bolted in
place. I believe he is climbing to the top of the second section to
attach the pulley so he can raise the third section, the top of which is
at the left of photo. That is how I see it anyway. Regards, Ken W7TS

Hi John,
Take a look here: http://www.onemantowers.com/photopage1.html
About 1/3-1/2 half way down the page on the left, right above the
caption :
"Attaching the cable pulley to the top of the section. This step is
repeated for each section as it is placed".
The forces on the build-in lifting trolley with someone climbing on the
offset section have got to be pretty significant. Then again, the
welding/tower looks pretty beefy. This is when you trust that the guy
doing the welding wasn't coming back from a lunch which includes Fosters
:)
On the other hand, this does look like a pretty good idea that bears
watching.
73,
Gary

No, but it looks like an interesting alternative to the Hazers. Climbing
out on the offset section during construction looks a little flakey.
