I applied for a job doing this when I got out of the service. After visiting a job site, looking up, and seeing that tower bend and sway, I said no thanks.
You got that right. I started a lineman apprenticeship and went to a few company school sessions like one for climbing typical telephone wood poles with belt and spikes. The favorite thing for the old time instructors to do was to get to the top of a 110 foot with a rookie opposite him and start rocking the pool back and forth by each guy doing the opposite of the other-one when leaning out and leaning in. You wouldn’t believe how much those poles can sway when forced to.
Then there were stories of the past lumberjack types that would climb the pole then sit or even stand on top of the pole.
I left the program after seeing a large percentage had bad knees after years of climbing.
Glad OSHA approved the free climbing skills in this video or the guys would have died of old age before they got to the top.
