There was a time I didn't mind climbing. I used to have to go up the 550' AM towers where I worked all the time, but I was a lot younger then and didn't really mind it. Several years later, while I was working at a local TV station, one of the other guys and I got called out for an antenna problem. Jimmy went up while I stayed on the ground sending up whatever he needed. After the repair was made, he was about half way back down the tower when he lost his grip, and wasn't tied off. He fell several hundred feet to his death. That really f*cked me up for a long time, and I haven't gone up a tower since. The really sad part was he was to have been married the following week.

Climb a 1600+ foot tower? NFW.
