While on radio watchstanding duty today at Coast Guard Station Sandy Hook (NY 
City), I happened to catch an article on the Coast Guard's tower climbing 
school in Kodiak, AL.  They teach tower climbing techniques and tower rescue.

A couple of points they made were that you should be attached to the tower at 
all times (amazing how many people climb free style), and that a tower should 
be inspected thoroughly at least every 2 years.

The article can be read at:
