300' cell towers
Been jumping a 300' I believe an old miro-wave tower.......I have been looking at a 300' cell.....but from the ground the top antenna array looks pretty flimsy......can any one give me an idea, can you go off the top or are you stuck under the array?
I don't want to damage any thing .....we have a play ground of objects to jump and want to stay invisableSly

Re: [TreeRat] 300' cell towers
I done one a few days ago, long story short we started climbing in nil winds, got the the top and it was fucking honking. Knew the climb down would be even harder than the climb up (No pegs or ladder, all structure which had overhanging steel. I had to lean off the tower with one hand and reach above) so was forced to shit my pants with a nice delay from 315. When my buddy left the object i was PC in hand ready to follow but had to take a knee and hold on as his push off caused the tower to really move. All in all... i'd only ever jump it again if i was 200% sure winds were gonna be good. Any doubt i wouldn't climb that thing again.
