Never heard of that before.
Pretty cool stuff.

I don’t trust spray on, but a torch and a galvanizing repair stick will
make it like new.

a chain mount will strip the galvanize too, carry a can of spray on. i
dont know if that stuff actually is any different than just painting it

I know people who are good at welding make very clean and strong
joints....I wouldn't trust my own welds to hold a person because I
suck at it.
Plus, wouldn't you ruin the galvanizing where you welded to it? Would
you have to commit to painting that spot every few years for all time?

Why not just weld steps to it?

My idea for steps is similar to Chuck's 800-M-POL-10 HD Pole Mount.
To clarify i would build many of these and mount them to the pole as
steps either while doing the work or maybe leave them on for suration
of the lease. The idea is not to move the steps up while climbing.
I do like the rubber strap method in that video. Will look into that
as well.

Bosun’s chair and a cable and pulley system I guess could be used
but I would still want some kind of backup like a wheeled mechanism
you can fasten around the pole that will travel up with you and
serve as a fall arrest.
The rope half hitch monkey stuff may be fine for someone well
versed.

they probably have a rubber grip variant of pole belts and those
boot spikes for climbing metal poles, I doubt much of anything
thats not a structural component would pass the OSHA sniff test.
And your fuel economy in your work trucks would be awful if you had
staff with such heavy brass balls that would climb with it

We are discussing putting antennas on a stadium light pole. It is
a 90ft steel monopole with no climbing provisions just smooth
sides. They service the lights by contracting to a lighting
company with a huge lift of some sort.
For our use I'd really like to find a way to make it climbable to
allow access on short notice if necessary.
I have a plan in my head for a fabricated steel pole step with a
chain wrap mount. But i wonder if there is already a product
available or any other ideas how to get up there?
Thanks
