Great post Sully but, no thank you!!! I'm not really afraid of heights but I think that's a little too much for me.
Forget the dizzy effect. My knee's hurt just looking at that climb!!! :AGGHH:
I would sooner be dropped hanging down from a helicopter than climb that high.
Why the hard hat? He should be wearing a parachute.

Whenever someone sets me up with a Segue, I can't help but throw it out there..:laugh::laugh:ThumbUp
These were tools of my trade in all seasons. Over the years I've climbed thousands of telephone poles, sometimes spending hours at the top repairing aerial cable enclosures. Most poles I only belted in after I reached the top, but others were so large it was a must to belt in at the bottom because you couldn't hold on with one hard while you hooked your safety belt around the pole at the top. I've seen several people slip and hug a pole, a natural tendency, all the way down several times in my career and they looked like a bloody peg board when they reached the bottom from the gouges in the pole from previous climbs. Not a pretty site to say the least. I'm not talking about small splinters, but chunks of wood embedded over your entire body. It never happened to me, but I have rode a broken pole that was rotted underground and the experience was what I imagine to be similar to riding a bucking bronco. It slings you when the steel strand reaches full tension bounce after bounce like the momentum of a swing. I was just lucky enough that it wasn't an end pole. :D

If you ride a pole today, the nails and staples would join the splinters:gah:

My Dad Climbed Poles with BellSouth/AT&T for Years.
I Sent him the Video He said it made his Old Knees Hurt.
He is Retired but Climbed Poles about every Day multiple times a Day.
As I washed this Video & saw you Pic I thought a lot about my Dad.
Speaking of poles, I went to a football game [Soccer] In Warsaw' And it was hard to see the game, No matter where i sat there was a Pole in front of me....:laugh:
