Along these lines - if you have the chance before you start 
your new guyed tower, arrange it so that there is a reasonably 
bracket/coax/antenna-free face for climbing.  Then, be sure 
any bolts that matter (e.g., bolts in guy assemblies) point 
away from that climbing face - might save a slammed knee or 
elbow.
