The video has certainly generated a lot of talk, some valuable.
Does anyone use a belay? A competent groundie could keep a line snug as you
go up and down, saving you the trouble of all that hooking. Once at a
worksite, you could hook on and relieve the groundie for other tasks.

## I had the same thought a week ago. Some kind of power winch would be cool,
then just lift the climber up the side of the tower. He could still be hooked
onto the
separate safety cable too, so if the winch cable broke, jammed, etc, the
climber is
still restrained at all times. 0-300' in 60 secs.
