There is a YouTube channel of John Hettish? with lots of antenna installs & repairs. Rather fascinating how they do the work with mainly armstrong power at such a height.

That last one made me ill watching, knowing there were no safety lines.

Not only not having a safety line but can you imagine the sway at the top!

BASE jumping would be a useful second hobby I reckon.

Base jump off a guyed tower. Lame in comparison to the free climb.
