[TowerTalk] 58 M Freeclimb

[Wayne Kline]

 This BIG  Tower climb Thread , seems ti have  taken on a life of it's OWN
Like the great plastic horned Owl  and finding true North
 
 I can't speak for everybody ... but @ 67  I  hopefully have  learned something
 
 A Wear you seat Belt ,  Smoking can harm you Health, and an Ounce or Prevention is worth
a Pound of cure .
 
As a climber  DID I or Do I Free Climb ... Never say  never.  a Mentor of mine told me years ago.
 
" There are Old climbers
    There are Bold Climbers 
     But there are NO OLD BOLD climbers !
 
So  I wear a Light weight rock climber full body for the quick fix type climb
and for extended hours on the tower my KLEIN  full Body with SEAT So I can rest my Tired OLD bones
 
 
Life's a learning lesson, and hopefully we can learn something from an experienced climbers DEMISE
 
Stay safe ...

> He did it without gloves.  My palms were sweating watching the video!  I also noticed he climbed by grabbing the outside of the rope ladders, not the rungs.  That's how you don't get your fingers stepped on if you're climbing with another mate ahead of you.
