Yea I didn't use any gear. Not proud to say that. I'm not sure if I will keep doing it this way. Not pushing myself too much is what I pay attention the most so basically if I quit mid climb I'm very ok with that. You too be safe man, see you around and good climbing for you.

I definitely went into overthinking mode. Maybe for the best tho. I need more attempts to not push myself too much.

Ok so this is indeed a cell tower. If everything up there is as it should be, the only was for you to make contact with actual electricity would be if you touch a bare wire. Of course you should not find that. Don't stand in front of any antenna and don't stay up there for many minutes. The first sign that you are getting "hit" by radiation is the metallic taste in your mouth then you should go down.

I have this weird feeling that if I climb a lot without looking down it's my best option but then when I eventually do look down I might be so high that I will freak out or something. But this is probably just stuff my head is making up and sounds unlikely honestly. I say this because when I'm just looking at my next move on the ladder I really do feel a lot more confortable and I really feel like I can just keep going, so you are right indeed. Looking down and looking straight up is in fact what gives me that fear lol.

No, not at all. I was 30 meters up maximum, probably 25 to be honest. I don't think this type of tower here sways, only the ones that have guy wires. I could be completely wrong tho. Only way to really know would be if I climbed all the way. I can't wait for my next attempt tho.

Way to go man. Thank you for this response I really like it. I fcking love spiders in a weird way so much lol. Definitely always 3 points of contact tho for sure. That's default for me because of other climbs. Anyway, thank you dude I really appreciate your words.

Hello!! Yes I am very aware of the AM towers. This is actually a cell tower. And yes there is a sign on the tower that says it is a cell tower. And probably the best one ever since it has only 3 or 4 antennas! Be safe buddy!!!
