I wouldn't weld something to a perfectly good tower. I also have a crank
up (in process of erecting) and have thought about what steps I would
take to climb the tower in the event I had to deal with something
preventing it's normal crank down. I am considering keeping several
lengths of 4x4's around to block the descent of each section during such
a climb. Any thoughts???
