Myself, and everyone on my crew refuses to climb it. I left out the
part about the fact that we purchased a company who owned this tower.
They erected it, and I was seeing if it was possible to get this tower
in a safe position.

I'm glad you're climbing it and not me. The correct guy postion is
about
80% from the base, or around 120 feet. The tower is an accident

should be 3/16 EHS. My guess is it only has four guy points at most,
and
was
not erected by a tower company
Complete info can be found on the Rohn site.
