I would worry more about gusts than steady wind, especially for rope work or
complex positioning. Might need additional ground crew and taglines, maybe a
second climber.
When you say new climber, how new? What kind of training/certification?
Ultimately you are depending on the climber to call it off if it’s not safe,
and a newbie might not have the experience to know when it’s not safe. If
you’re talking about today, at least it’s been way above freezing the past 2
days, so the likelihood of rain freezing to the tower should be minimized.
Also, how high are you sending him? Big difference between 100 and 300 feet.

Depends what i'm climbing for. Repair or upgrade?
Is there rain/sleet/snow mixed with the wind?

All parts should go together without forcing. You must remember that the
parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't
get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a
hammer. -- IBM maintenance manual, 1925
