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 ?
Thanks
Here are some pics of the Antenna:

At my age, I would never climb that. In fact reminds me of tower near
my brother's house that got struck by lightening and blew out all the
electronic equipment in his house.
