[GreenKeys] There ain't enough money

[Peter Gottlieb]

Far more people fall off ladders and end up with life-changing injuries (such as 
paralysis) than fall off towers.  That's true even if you correct for hours 
climbing.  With tower climbing there is training and serious protective 
equipment, both prevention as well as protection from.

Tower work is tough work.  Those big towers are taller than a skyscraper and 
there is no elevator.  You manually make that climb, and not just you, but you 
wearing all the heavy protective gear, heavy clothes for protection from the 
elements, tools, gloves, and any parts you need (even a one pound light bulb 
makes a difference carrying it straight up 1800 feet).  All movements are 
restricted by the gear and you are working with gloves.  You better be in good 
shape.
