[TowerTalk] Tower climbing video

[D Calder]

Try a 100lb beacon made of glass strapped to your butt going up 1300'. It
isn't fun. We catch people free climbing way too much. It's the last
time on one of our towers when we do.

Pointed out to me by Steve, WB2WIK/6 is that the most stunning part is that
this guy has 30lb of tools dangling on a rope attached to him as he climbs
up.

I mean it's bad enough that his own weight is trying to pull him off the
tower without having a 30Lb free and unpredictably swinging weight gladly
lending assistance.
