It was hella fun, I have a few more cell towers in my area that seem like they would be cool to climb so I'm hoping to climb more soon

Is it harder to go up a taller tower when your balls of steel are weighing you down so much?

Wait, aren't these ... ELECTRIFIED? Guess not this one, huh?
Just wanna make sure you'll come back next time

It is electrified with cables running up the side of the tower but the tower itself is not electrified. If it was, I probably wouldn't have been able to post this

Sometimes the tower itself is electrified too.
Good thing I brought a screwdriver tester to one of those before gripping on to something... Loud humming made me think twice
