And the right way to do it. If the leg is splitting that means there is
no way to weep moisture and you will just be back to the same issue in
the future.

We got the temporary clamps in place and are working to replace the
section in the near future (before more climbing).
No drain holes right now either... :(

We've seen something like this. Engineer recommended taking the same

and clamp around the stress crack. Being only 40' feet, probably don't
have much to worry about.

That's water freezing inside the leg and splitting the leg.
I bet the drain holes in the bottom are plugged and not letting water drain
I would avoid this tower. I surely wouldn't climb it.
And I will call you tomorrow reference your e-mail

Definitely from freezing as it comes from the inside out.
If it were mine, I would figure out a way to get it down with the gear
on it and put up a new one.
At 40' there are lots of sign and rigging companies with a crane that
could pick it up off the base and lower it so you can get the gear
Ya'll never did any plumbing, huh :)
Water inside froze and split it open.
The only way I'd stand 3 rungs up on that tower, is if I had a crane holding
me up :)

and put a new section in. Hm... Need to go onsite.

That is caused by condensation or rain coming in the top of the leg.
Basically there is no drain at the bottom of the leg and the water is
repeatedly freezing at the snow line.

If you don't have a drain out the bottom it will keep doing it.
