Most I have climbed was 100 ft of Rohn 25. I did climb some silos at
work that were about 130 feet up. Just a ladder up the side, but they
did have a stepoff offset platform about every 30 feet.



Axtually that I could cope with. I know what I said before about vertigo, but
I have crewed on a tall ship, and I got by despite hanging over the Irish Sea
in awkward coircumstances at about 60 foot up for a while, watching the sheet
I'd managed to drop as it swept through the racing water below.. I just tend
to freeze for a moment if overwhelmed by the insecurity of it. At moments
like those I think the best thing is being able to trust the other people
you're with. I'll never forget Charlie the cook on the Jean de la Lune.
