[TowerTalk] Boots

[Tim Jellison]

Steel-toe work boots are highly recommended - any kind you like.  They are required when climbing commercially nowadays, as is a hard hat and safety glasses.  Don't be an 'amateur' when it comes to safety.  These things are required for a reason.  So if you're going to climb, spend the money on the proper equipment and be safe.
So far, the hard hat and safety glasses have proven their value to me while climbing.  I've had things hit my helmet many times and I had a piece of steel fly into my glasses once while grinding off a seized bolt (would have lost my eye had I not had glasses on).  I've not had anything land on my feet yet, but it's just a matter of time I'm sure...
