[TowerTalk] How to Clip on with a Fall Arrest Lanyard

[Richard Thorne]

As I was climbing my 55g tower this morning, I got to thinking.

I normally just clip on one, the other or both fall arrest lanyard's to 
a cross brace.  I always have at least one connected to the tower during 
a climb, up or down, and when I'm attached during work.

Is the cross brace strong enough to hold if I were to fall and the fall 
arrest lanyard does it's job, or do I need to consider going around a 
tower leg above the weld of a brace?

Just curious.

Great day to climb.
