    There are a couple of places where you can go for  tower climbing 
certification. They're obviously aimed at the professional  climber and the certs are 
now typically required to be hired.

        OTOH I wrote tower climbing  columns in both the NCJ and the defunct 
CQ Contest magazine for a total of over  10 years. I'm hoping to reprint all 
of them in an upcoming book. 
 
        OTOOH I'm about 1/2 way  done finally finishing my 
way-behind-schedule tower book which I'm hoping will  be out by Dayton in May.
