Wayne, Death is nature's way of telling you to slow down but until or unless you get THAT memo, just keep on truckin'.

Well said Chuck

I to am 66 and do not plans to slow down, Mother nature has slowed my tower climbing to a well planed DXpedition and I still use my single old Klein belt for tower painting .

I just hope when I reach 80 I'll have the drive this guy possess . The single knot on the rope lanyard did send a chill up and down my spine at 180 plus ft.

But I have to go back to a mentor of mine and repeat his rule #1


There are old tower Climbers

And there are BOLD tower climbers.

BUT there are no OLD  BOLD tower climbers


Have fun Chuck  while you can.. wee only hear for a VISIT

At 82, I still drive ATVs and UTVs, off road, at racing speeds..  Few
can keep up.  I insure that all the lug nuts are tight.  I also still
climb towers, not 200' ones, with a single waist belt.

I also grew up on a family cattle ranch, and as a teenager, was
expected to rope and bring down wild cows, to doctor their infected
wounds, by myself out in the open range.

Until you have walked in their moccasins - - - - .   Unless you have
had many "hands on" experiences, stay with your books and OSHA
regulations, and keep those rules and postulations to yourself.

Chuck,  W7CS
