[TowerTalk] [Bulk] Re: Climber harness ???

[Grant Saviers]

I bought an on sale 2 D ring harness, shock absorbing lanyards and rebar 
hooks (fits around tower legs) from whitecap.com.  Quality was good and 
total cost was around $250.  They have many choices.  For the deluxe 
setup consider a tree climbing rig from from a forestry supplier, more D 
rings, padded seat, but 3 to 6x the price.  These links will give you an 
idea of what to buy.

(one lanyard always attached when climbing, goes to rear D ring)

In addition to the above a short tie to tower line is needed when not 
climbing.  Thru and/or around the tower back to the D rings. Frequently 
1/2" nylon rope to locking carabiners.
