The video says that he’s “free climbing”. He’s only using the safety harness to rest, not each time he moves.

Look at the video and you will see that each time he moves up he moves the hook for his safety line. The Tool Pouch is attached to him from behind. And each time he takes a break, you can see the safety hook and the safety line. I cringed when I saw this video, but I did see the tech take all necessary precautions, too.

Free-climbing to the top of that tiny pole? I’ve climbed sailboat masts and that took all I could manage. I love the way the announcer says “this is the tricky part” when the guy is about 1770 feed up already. -Malcolm From: Crawford, Scott [mailto:crawfo...@evangel.edu] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 17:09 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Tower Climbing That makes my hands sweaty.
