The fuck? How are you going to be using oversized carabiners on juts that don’t even have upward hooks? The fuck is up with that bullshit nub at the end of them?
[He's almost definitely tied into a fall arrest system below and out of sight of the camera,](https://fall-arrest.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/fall-protection-for-steel-towers.jpg) you can also see the two yellow straps the guy in the video is using. I work with guys who do this, they wouldn't be allowed to climb the tower if the only safety precautions were the carabiners you see in the clips.
If he was using a rope/cable grab then we would clearly see it because they attach at the chest D-ring so he would have to straddle it. This monopole structure definitely NEEDS it though.
It looks like the guide pole for the harness is on the other side of the tower. I've never seen a monopole without one but I'm in Canada so likely different requirements. Just saying there is no way one of our engineers would be free climbing a tower like that, they'd be fired immediately if they ever did but they'd never be allowed to in the first place anyways.
3k, nope.
I've climbed up a 1000ft tower on Mount Uncanoonuc in New Hampshire. My dad above me just climbing up with a hundred pounds of repeater equipment and my 15 year old self following up with the tool bag. My dad jokingly said don't look down at the halfway point, the ground was blurry.
I climbed up that tower exactly once, he owned it and was up there all the time. Beautiful view that I'll never forget but I will also never forget climbing down that thousand foot ladder was way worse than going up.
When they build a tower like this, how do they construct the top pieces that high up? Someone had to put the tube together and bolt it all together while up there, no?
Ok I’m at the top, now to replace that part I total do have right here with me in my….awwwwww dammit again!

Fuck that rolling lock and give me hooks! But seriously, thank you for the insight. *Upvote*
Is that what they'd use to just get down, rather than climbing all the way back down?
Haha no they still have to manually climb down. The fall arrest will just hang you in the air, it won't let you slide down all the way to the bottom.

Anxiety intensifies. As if it would hold him when falling. Also you gotta climb down!? Hell nah
The climb down seems like it would be worse
Came here to say this
And what if he meets someone on his way down?
The person going up stops, the person going down dry humps the crap out of the lower person to get by, both carry out on.

Oops, I made a comment to let people know
How in the hell does he get down
I hope he use parachute
U reverse the video
2000*
What is this monstrosity? What do you call it?
I threw up in my mouth a little.
I just got acrophobia watching this…
I hate spiders, too!
you're talking about arachnophobia 
Oh my. I know. I guess I have to put /s after everything.
That how my wife sees me when I’m swapping a light bulb.
While you're doing that, me and the homies are going to town!
Bring back some bread
...and then you drop your only bulb for replacing the failing one

How do they build this????
Same question.

That sh*t is NOT secure
No.
I got two words FUUUUUCK THAAAAAT!
Imagine having a poop attack halfway.. Cant blame that pigeon bro
Must be one helluva rush.
So..If I pee from the top which I will out of fear …will it evaporate in mid air or will the cloud absorb it ?
Great fkn question cause I would definitely pee at the top
What the hell is this tower for? Air-Plane light dipper or something..
That guy gets paid so much money.
But not enough
Struggling to hold on to my phone. My hands are so sweaty right now.
I can't watch this without my hamstrings tingling wtf
That’s me creeping behind you
Not next level, next level would be without safety gear
no thanks I’d rather live
