We have a triangular Antenna tower that is about 40 years old and stands
about 30' high. I climbed 1/2 up to repair that security light that was
mounted on it, but was Leary about climbing the entire height to work on
the antenna.

Should I be concerned about climbing all the way to the antenna ? its
not rusted out, but I am just concerned about how well its anchored in
concrete.
I was not there when it was erected, so I don't know if they secured it
w/cables while attaching the upper sections and antenna.

Are those antennas designed to hold the weight of a 200 lb person at the
top ?


What would make it harder to climb than the other types ?


The way the cross bracing between the verticals are done.

Is has cross rungs every 18". Climbing it was easy,
just worried if it will hold up if someone climbs to
the top to work on the antenna.


Yes it will.
