I've seen this before, very impressive- what I don't understand is why the last run is made to be free climbing; why make it so much more dangerous than the majority of the climb?

What I mean is that at that point, you're-almost-there.

I think it's because you aren't carabiner'ed. The guy is free climbing, that means untethered to a safety line. Oops! means it's nearly 1700 feet to heaven.

My point is that with a little thought, there's a hell of a lot better ways to change a damn light bulb.

What ever thay are paying those guys, it aint enough!!

I'm sure it's just wages.

I would like to now why its done like that. They must have a good reason.

you cant have the actual antenna mast inside a metal cage it would defeat the whole purpose of getting it up that high. thats why the mast is wider than the ladder and exposed.
