As I was climbing my 55g tower this morning, I got to thinking.

I normally just clip on one, the other or both fall arrest lanyard's to a cross brace. I always have at least one connected to the tower during a climb, up or down, and when I'm attached during work.

Is the cross brace strong enough to hold if I were to fall and the fall arrest lanyard does it's job, or do I need to consider going around a tower leg above the weld of a brace?

Just curious.

Great day to climb.
