>>2785048probably me, i know there's one or two other industrial climbers on this board though. I'll shitpost in climbing threads on occasion.
Costs money to take fire towers down, costs even more to put a new one up (not to mention nepa studies, engineering reviews, bid process, etc), and forest service/blm doesn't have money. So they stay up. Not dealing with parks service out here, where they can charge admission and recoup the cost of building that stuff.
