Ya... I already tried that... there are 4 cell carriers, another WISP
and several paging companies on this tower (it's 180ft). Apparently
nobody else has ever said anything about it...
The big problem is there are no foot peg attachments on the tower leg
itself, so there really isn't a way to do it without a great deal of
expense.

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
