[TowerTalk] free climbing a 1700`tower

[WA3GIN]

He isn't an idiot... he is different, has strong opinions, is skilled and 
has a good amount of luck.
Climbing is dangerous even with all the safety gear we have these days.

I didn't get the impression he was forcing his opinion upon anyone but just 
adding his perspective.

Is it possible to have a different opinion on this reflector without a shit 
storm being created?

I do think he has a point about being fit to climb. How many of us old farts 
still climb when if not for the safety belt holding us on, we'd be tumbling 
off?

73,

I love crank-up towers and articulated boom lifes ;-)
