Where I live, by the time a rescue team would reach me, I would be dead
hanging from the tower.
If I had to wait until a ground person was available ... I would still be
waiting.  I usually caring my cell phone with me just in case.  
I probably did 25 climbs this summer ranging from 70 to 110 feet and
inbetween.

That's why you don't climb ALONE. You have a ground man in case you get in
trouble.
