I personally do not think that Rohn 65G is hard to climb, but everyone's
tastes vary. Climbing a mast is a little less comfortable so I would not
use excessive spacing. I do not know how far mine are apart, 12" sounds
like a good distance.

I noticed that Rohn 65G has the steps 18 inchs apart...vs the 15 inchs
apart on
rohn 45 + 55.
18 inchs seems like a huge spread between each step....for both your
feet...and
hands.
For you folks with 65G towers, are they harder to climb ? On a 100-200 ft
tower, I
could see this being an issue. Im not planning to install any 65G... it was
just a general
observation on my part.
On a similar note, for folks who install mast steps, how far apart are you
spacing them ?
I see that 12 inch spacing is used on most extension ladders. I made my own
mast steps,
soon to be installed. I may build 1-2 more, just to reduce the spacing a
bit
between each step.
