My Dad used to do that for a living - he worked on an FMP (field maintainance party) for the FAA. Climbed their radio and microwave towers, kept 'em up and working. I didn't permanently inherit his abilities. When I was young I liked climbing stuff like this, but I developed vertigo in my 50's and that was the end of that.
Climbing those towers kept Pop 'strong like bull'. It never paid to arm wrestle him or his co-workers.
