I haven't yet "been there", but when I had the opportunity to handle
sections of both towers at Dayton last year, it did seem that AN
Wireless used thicker steel, so the edges presumably would not be as sharp.
Yes, AN Wireless does offer climbing bolts, but AFAIR Trylon does not.
I did ask Dan (of AN Wireless) about a gin pole, but ISTR that he said
they were *very* expensive.
Unless I change my mind and install a crank-up, it'll be AN Wireless for me.
