Geez. Balls of steel for that job! I wonder, would it be feasible to "jump" back down or would a climb be the only option ?

I'd love to climb that tower. I used to be hauled up the mast of the yacht as a kid and it was never high enough.

I climbed a 300' tower once to install a RADAR. At the top it was moving more than my RIB in a F6. Total respect to these guys!

Amazing!
At least somebody had the foresight to put a ladder in for them!
Didn't like the fact that for periods of that climb they weren't clipped on, at least when I climbed yacht mast there was a rope tied to me all the way to the top.....
