Are you able to fit through an opening somehow to get on the outside of the
tower once you get up there.  Doesn't look like there are any largeish
openings.  The 48 incher I climb had some larger openings on the sides that
I could get through.  With this one, I'd be concerned about rescuing you
inside there if something happened.

I bet that once most people tried one of these towers, they would like it
!!! (Assuming they are about 5'6"). I do tie off, but it would be difficult
to fall far enough to get seriously hurt do to basically being inside a
cage, not that it can't be done !! (I know, famous last words - you don't
have to say it).

The link is to a pic of the tower with a bigger guy climbing the inside (not
me):
