[TowerTalk] Rohn 25 bolt replacement

[Madison Jones]

About halfway up a 90' Rohn 25 tower which I had occasion to climb a couple
of weeks ago, I noticed all 6 bolts at one of the section joints show lots
of rusting.  Whatever galvanizing they had once has now faded into history.
If they are not weak, they certainly give the appearance of being weak, and
certainly are not as sturdy as I, as the climber, would like to see.  The
rest of the bolts, guys and clamps appear to be in good shape, and I presume
the 6 bolts in question are not from the same batch as all the rest.  How
can I replace them without dismantling the tower?

Regards,
