If you fall off it will.

Yes, if you fall off, get put in jail, or touch any high voltage lines that are insulated from the structure.

Since it is anchored to the ground, there cannot be any voltage on the structure itself, but you could touch something with one hand and ground your other to the tower - l would not do it.

Yeah, in addition to the climbing problems, do not even think of getting in front of one of the antennas . very high microwave wattage is pouring out of the waveguides, very serious problem, they do not make noise, assume that they are on.

Well up there on a windy day you would not stand a chance unless you were hooked onto it pretty good.

Other than that. it just does not seem safe to be that close to a structure capable of sending out a wave of energy for hundreds of miles.

Give it a go!
Whats the worse that can happen??

Maybe get a 'spotter' though, just incase you have a slip.

Also make sure you make a video of it so you can put it on U-tube - Let me know when its on there and l will check it out.

Would say good luck to you, but i'm sure you do not need it!
