Yep, the higher you climb the easier lower heights feel and the more you climb the more comfortable it gets.

I still get nervous up there, there are a lot of tricky spots to get to that are extremely dangerous and there are a lot of times where you have to dangle from your harness seat and have full faith in it supporting you.

You spend most of your time resting on your harness seat with both hands free to run all the lines and attach all the clicks, among other things. Those panels you see that are lower than the little beams you walk on are the ones that you have to dangle to get under and hook everything up.

Fortunately when you're focused on the work you aren't thinking about the fall hazards, you get used to it

I wonder what the original design weight those things were made for, they are sitting up there in the elements and its not like they are ever inspected until someone climbs them. If those pegs were designed to take the weight of up to say 350lb person plus some additional fudge factors, and now its 10 years old and has corrosion ect, and you are a 200 lb person, how do you know if those things are safe to support you when youre up there 1700 ft in the air?

not a fan of pegs myself, but those are galvanized steel and will likely last many life times, i'd also imagine they are meant to support well over 300lb if they are being tied off on as there is a lot more than 300lb pounds of pressure applied if you fall. I don't think I have it in me to do antenna work because of how shady those things are to climb. Some antennas have fiberglass pegs from what I understand.

I'm not necessarily afraid of heights or anything but f*ck that
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

sure

If deaths were that common OSHA would be watching like a hawk. If you aren't being conscious of what you're doing then yes it is extremely dangerous. You just always need to think safety first at all times
you use scaffolding for that brah, i've watched water tower repaints
but you're right -- as long as you are cautious and think safety first you will be ok -- but there are also hazards that apply to tower climbing that don't apply for walking on scaffolding, the biggest is ice in the winter but also maneuvering between difficult to get to spaces and keeping balance on thin little beams, as well as hanging below with no foot placement on your harness seat. need to have strong balance with this job.

a quick google check will show you just how many fatalities happen in this industry, but lol at thinking I was talking about canada only and not realizing that they have almost all happened in the states

tower climbing / rigging is rated number 1 in fatalities per 100,000
Communication Tower Deaths. Tower climbing, an obscure field with no more than 10,000 workers, has a death rate roughly 10 times that of construction. In the last nine years, nearly 100 tower climbers have been killed on the job.
a lot of it is due to free climbing though, accelerated deadlines and night climbing, and you'll never catch me free climbing because i'm not an idiot -- my work doesn't do night climbs and we don't get rushed by our employer, it's safety first with the company I work for. Working around high power microwave transmitters is also dangerous.

just because you work at heights doesn't mean they are even remotely comparable

As soon as I read "tower" I knew it was telecoms rigging. Respect.

I did it for a while, never got to do any crazy towers though, only climbed 30m monopoles. This was back when Australia had it's 3G rollout (Project Jersey - Telstra). Also worked in the RBS hutts below as a ground tech trainee for a year.

We eventually got a 6mth contract for a mining company doing their entire telecoms infrastructure and I finished up after that.. being away all the time, most guys I worked with were alcoholics and had marital/relationship issus etc. Decent money though.
Jakes on you.

I'm not trying to downplay what you do but it is comparable. Although you will go to much bigger heights. I think the highest I've been is 219'. Couldn't imagine climbing to 1,000ft. Eff that

Just looked it up and sounds like you're right. about 120 deaths since 2003 which doesn't seem like a lot but it is a small industry. and OSHA issued citations in 65% of the cases. Would have thought power line workers would be higher or something
Yeah I'll give you respect for that then, you definitely can relate to the rush. I got a bit defensive there because there are a lot of things you would have to experience to understand. Again though a lot of those deaths are guys who chose to free climb and not take it slow.
Its important to work for an employer who doesn't rush you and actually cares about your safety. The guys I work for have a 100 percent safe track record since they've been in business.

When you were trained for the job were you told any stories of people falling to their deaths?

Nope, our company is great about that. Did have one story of a guy who fell but he was tied off so he just got the scare of his life. Was also for a different company

a lot of pressure from cell phone companies to get jobs done quickly because in most cases cell towers need to be shut down to be worked on and if they aren't back up in time the company is penalized
