I bought an on sale 2 D ring harness, shock absorbing lanyards and rebar
hooks (fits around tower legs) from whitecap.com. Quality was good and
total cost was around $250. They have many choices. For the deluxe
setup consider a tree climbing rig from from a forestry supplier, more D
rings, padded seat, but 3 to 6x the price. These links will give you an
idea of what to buy.

(one lanyard always attached when climbing, goes to rear D ring)

In addition to the above a short tie to tower line is needed when not
climbing. Thru and/or around the tower back to the D rings. Frequently
1/2" nylon rope to locking carabiners.

tower climbing.
