Well said Chuck
I to am 66 and do not plans to slow down, Mother nature has slowed my tower
climbing to a well planed DXpedition and I still use my single old Klein belt
for tower painting .
I just hope when I reach 80 I'll have the drive this guy possess . The
single knot on the rope lanyard did send a chill up and down my spine at 180
plus ft.
But I have to go back to a mentor of mine and repeat his rule #1
There are old tower Climbers
And there are BOLD tower climbers.
BUT there are no OLD BOLD tower climbers
Have fun Chuck while you can.. wee only hear for a VISIT
