[TowerTalk] Raising Towers

[Wayne Kline]

Well said Chuck
 
   I to am 66 and do not plans to slow down, Mother nature has slowed my tower climbing to a well planed DXpedition  and I still use my single old Klein belt for tower painting .
 
I just hope  when I reach 80 I'll have the drive this guy  possess .  The single knot on the rope lanyard did send a chill up and down my spine  at 180 plus ft. 
 
But I have to go back to a mentor of mine and repeat his rule #1
 
 
There are old tower Climbers
 
And there are BOLD tower climbers.
 
BUT there are no OLD  BOLD tower climbers 
 
 
Have fun Chuck  while you can.. wee only hear for a VISIT
