They are all for sale. He'll grease them if it's needed, don't worry about that...

Yeah, some of the older civilians used to use steeple training just to scare the young troops (Air Force FF here), gotta haze the kids. I always thought it was pretty stupid as you would never do a crossover like that in real life.

After falling I don't think I could even think about doing it again, and nope got the tingle just typing this.

My sister was training as a telephone line technician and fell off the pole. She broke her leg, but 6 months later she went back and went up the pole to finish her training.

As a telephone technician I fell off a pole once from about 15 feet. I landed flat on my back and it knocked the wind out of me. There was a boy in the yard watching me, he asked if I was all right. I nodded yes because I couldn't talk. After regaining breath I got up and climbed right back up that pole even though my work was done. I belted in, laid back, took a big breath, and descended back to the ground. I was lucky....

Yikes!!
 

I had an electric meter problem a couple years ago and called for service (the ground cable had a bad Splice).
The crew shows up with a cameraman and lady with clipboard (lots of flirting).
Up the pole the guy goes, making a big production of it.

Talked to one of the techs and he laughed and said with their bucket trucks, it is very rare to climb any more . Things were slow at the shop that morning and they decided to have some fun.
 

Participating in the MVDDS project as well. Cautiously optimistic for now.

Biggest issues with it so far is the way it’s affecting how I get routed and the holes in the process that nobody seems willing to fill-in, as far as the surveys go

It has no practical use, that I've seen, in any sort of FF scenario. Maybe rescuing a kitty without a ladder truck? There's no way you could leg-lock and do anything besides fear the 4 people who are holding your life in their hands via the rope.
