[Towertalk] Climbing Belt strap lengths

[Zac Smith]

ide go with a 4' and a 6' we buy ours from darraugh, bashlin or granger
wichever is cheapest at the time, some people prefer rope lanyards i myself
prefer orange webbing, theyre tougher and hi viz from the ground to tell if
your guys are hooked off properly or for osha to see if theyre hooked off
properly
