Hi gang,
Does anyone have experience with cable-based safety climbing systems such as
Trylon's Cougar system?
http://www.trylon.com/safetyclimb/cougar_safetycable.asp
Or DBI/Sala's "Lad Safe" system:

ctId=309
Basically, a steel cable is permanently attached to the tower with brackets
and a special locking, cable sleeve attaches the climber's harness to the
cable, ensuring tower attachment and fall arrest protection 100% of the
time.
It looks like a good idea, but I would appreciate any comments and caveats
from experienced climbers (and/or users). We are looking at it specifically
for use on a roof-mounted 40 ft Rohn 55G tower.
Thanks!
73, Chris KA8WFC
