well the more experienced climber went up, I came over to be his
ground man. The radio was toasted.
Im glad he pulled through, I did not want to climb

I don't climb when winds are expected to exceed 25mph (assuming
higher gusts). I agree, it does depend on the work to be done.
Wintery snow, sleet and snow means temps are likely at or below
32°F. If that is the case, crank up some wind and it is colder.
Add rain, sleet, snow, and you have a green climber. The first
heart check might get him stuck up there if he is no used to
climbing when the sun isn't shining. I won't climb unless it is
absolutely necessary, because even as careful as I am, and some of
the things I am willing to do, it isn't worth getting injured. If
I am injured I can't climb.
If it can wait, then I would say wait. It sucks to have customers
offline, but it sucks worse to lose your climber for an
undetermined amount of time.

The radio is pulling too much current. Probably it is an
overload/short. It will fade out and then come on full
brightness. This was the green LED and may not exist with the
LED anymore, especially since it's a different type of LED.

its only 100 feet, but its a shitty tower to climb, all
angled, one of those tripod ones that suck when theyre
wet. Ive slipped on this tower
new as in this would be his first unattended climb since
training
im assuming its just a bad radio (flashing ubnt power
supply, but could be a failed cable) on an omni

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?
