I haven't climbed anything much in years as I am getting short
in both stamina and ambition, and nothing I ever climbed was
a small pole on the outside of an enclosed antenna, which looks
like a UHF TV system.
With all that said, and again, maybe getting senile, that I have asked
this before, but does anyone have an idea where that tower is?
I can see at least three towers in the video, one very close to the
climbed tower and almost the same height. In fact, I'd have to say
the guys for the climbed tower and the guys for the nearer tower
have got to cross. The third tower appears to be about two-thirds
the height of the first two towers, but is further away.
