How about bringing up the safety issue to the tower company, and asking them
to install more foot pegs :-)

Ya... that's what I was afraid of... I've done it twice, but both times I
keep thinking there has to be a better way...

Looks like someone was not paying attention when they installed it. You
just gotta get balls of steel and slide over. Down one cross member and
up another. We do it all the time.
BTW: Be careful... :-)

Hi,
I am looking for some advice on the proper climbing technique for a new
tower we just installed on. Over the past 10 years, I have climbed
hundreds of towers including free standing, guyed, 40ft to 120ft without
any problems or fears. However this new tower is much more difficult. I
believe it's a Rohn 200ft free standing tower with 3 legs. The issue is
there are only foot pegs on one leg up to the 80ft level... then the
pegs start on another leg and go up from 80ft to the top. Getting from
one leg to another at the 80ft level is the challenge. As you can see
from the picture, the gap from the top brace to the bottom brace is
almost 10feet in the center (I am 6'1").

Anyone have any suggestions on a better way to accomplish the leg to leg
movements across the braces?
Thanks,
Travis
