I climb them with no issues... I trust the physics after we brought one down which had one split leg from ice/water damage... We tied safety ropes to it, used a backhoe tractor and brought shovel up to about 15 feet. Chained it and then cut two legs with saw saw.. We eased it down... We cut third leg half way and had to muscle it to come down... Even at angle it supported itself without dropping to ground! We had to cut remainding end.... So unless tower is in bad shape... It should be solid.

Those crazy heights without guys do not really account for the amount of wind load that we generally put on them.

Im having a hard time with the spec sheets understanding.
