I have them, and in 15 years of commercial climbing, I have never been stung
by anything once I'm 10 ft. off the ground. None of my team has that I know
of either.
I don't know what it is about wasps, hornets, and bees, but once you're up
there they leave you alone.
There is also a small company around Atlanta that makes safety climbs also.
Metrosite. Scott will go above and beyond.....

I have 3/8 cable on two of my taller towers. Wouldn't be without it.

How many folks on here run the 3/8" winch cable from top to bottom of the
tower, and use the positive locking device, hooked to
your climbing gear of choice? IE: if you slip, get stung by a wasp, get
dizzy from the heat, etc., what's stopping you from falling 100'....aside
from the
next set of guy wires below you ? I see the Trylon version of this device
uses a
shock absorber at the top of the tower. Some versions use a 3/8"
cable..and some versions use a square tubing rail, running the entire height
of the tower.
