[SixClub] Tower Climbing Video

[KA2AEV at aol.com]

Well like I said the announcer on the video was wrong then because he SAID  
that
freeclimbing is NOT against the OSHA rules

Freehanded climb is permitted ONLY when it is necessary and hookup is  not
viable (like going over an ice bridge or antenna they cannot  get
around)...otherwise, you use a climbing/safety fall line (mounted on  
shorter
towers and water towers in a lot of places) or have two contacts  (hooks,
etc) at all time.....feet and hands don't count....The engineer who  runs a
local tank inspection company confirmed that...OSHA says thou shall  hook up

The guys who climbed Empire State Bldg on one of the cable  channels worked
for ERI (a well known broadcast antenna builder)...they  stated they had to
be hooked except for the ice bridge which sticks out 3  feet from
center..they HAD to go freehand then...and this was at midnight  too!!
