Dang Jerry, these sound like words of experience. I got a set
of vascular clamps for the slivers as tweezers just don't cut
it :-(
BTW "pole steps" have been outlawed here in Calgary. Have you
ever seen some one who fell off a pole with pole steps on it
and got hung up on the way down?? Imagine being impaled on
one of those steps and hanging upside down for a while.
Give me a set of hooks any day!!
Talk to your local power utility, most of the guys would climb
the poles for you for a small fee.
We now have fall arrest devices on our climbing belts and
have to belt in no higher than 10 feet. Even a guy of my robust
nature only slips about 2 feet when I kick out. Still get the
slivers though.
