Boy this brought back memories.  I once witnessed a guy standing on the top
rungs of a 50ft Rohn 25G tower trying to fish a 21ft 2" back iron waterpipe
into the nose section for a mast pipe.  Now if he even had a belt, his waist
was above the top of the tower and close to 18ft of mast/waterpipe was above
his head.  He managed to do it and get back down to a more safe position and
finish an antenna installation.  All that with a 10-15 mph wind.

Yeah, unbelievable.
