Have you ever thought about where broadcast television signals come from? I’m not talking about the studio, I’m talking about the actual transmission tower. You know, the thing you aim your rooftop antenna at to get the best signal. In parts of the country where it’s really flat, a single tower can reach a circle [...]
Very interesting video. Unlike the producer of the video, I'll bet the climbers know it's a "guyed tower" and not a "gided tower". And, I don't believe for a second that OSHA, the climbers company or their insurance company would say that free-climbing is permitted.

Of course, by then it was too late to "unring" that bell, and the video had escaped into the wild, which is why I was able to post a link to it.
You could roll me up in bubble wrap and use 50 safety straps, and I still wouldn't climb that thing!
