Anyone know what the salary is for a job like this? Do they climb these poles in the winter? Those handles are galvanized carriage bolts toward the top.

Oh, I'd take the elevator ride up to 1600' and back.

Granted its not 1600' off the ground but once every two years I have to climb 80' down a ladder from a catwalk to check the bearings on a river crossing bridge, theres a cage around it but I have this nightmare about missing a rung and slipping about 3/4 of the way back up and my chin catching about every third one on the way down. Bad thing about it is I'm 6'6" and the cage isn't quite big enough so I rap my shins a number of times each trip, two piers same height so when I get rested up from the first trip I gotta do it over again. Nobody else on the other teams wants or will do it so its my baby when its due for a look. As far as going up that ladder with that toolbelt in tow forget it! You'd think they would rig a pulley with a rope to get it up there.

No way no how,could you ever get me to go 17 feet up that tower nevermind 1700 feet.I work for a scaffold company and we have a scaffold ercection crew that consists of all young guys who do some crazy stuff.
I thought they were nuts on some of the church steeples and swing stages on skyscrapers that we do,but this tower job is well beyond that in the scare factor.
