I did tower lighting for flash technology. Generally speaking, our work started at 300’ and was primarily at night. Also stacked plenty of towers, guyed, monopole and self support, for wireless communications. Last tower I was on was a 1000’ in Cincinnati replacing the beacon on a double stacked broadcast antenna. I’ve been 2000’ +/- multiple times but, it’s been a hot minute.
I’ve climbed small stuff since I was a teenager, jumped from airplanes for a living, rappelled from helicopters and off static walls. I was the unit rappel master and ran out tower for 3-1/2 years.
I went to Rope Rescue Tech II last year. They made us use that damn thing climbing three stories of a ladder bolted to the training tower. Only because it was part of the required curriculum. As soon as all 18 of us were done an instructor said "that's enough of that bullshit, let's get the ropes and hardware out."
