>>2555887Fuck yeah
Georgia Southern Cross in Atl and another out of Lincoln, Nebraska called Capital Tower.
Fucking love to paint them ...... big mitten in one hand, Petzl Stop in the other on the handle brake....3 gal on my hip.....
Nothing beats that job in the world....Builds are fun and simple....antenna mounts are a bitch to lift to the apex of a Self-Supported Tower, but rigging coax is certainly a beastly gig.
You know this is the best employment ever for a climber....beats any ground work around.
My first test climb was over 1000' on the top of the steel of the Nations Bank building in Atl.....the biggest building in the Southeast.
Got to hit the ladder up to the gold flake covered lightning rod pillar on top....fucking amazing job but they get some pretty awnry guys on the gigs sometimes....
Those companies I worked for before the regulations got too stiff and climbing harnesses were thrown out for the shitty cant-self-rescue-full body harnesses that leave you dangling like an idiot if you lose your footing....
One slip and they have to call in a rescue team....we all agreed to throw them out for Petzl Navajos and Black Diamond Bod harnesses.
There were a ton of climbers with us but also road dogs that were just fearless and after high paying work...can't blame them.
Watching 250 lb guys try to ladder all day was kinda funny as I was in at 180 max.
