I never thought I would climb telephone and power poles,, telephone only poles in CA are 25 or 30 Ft. tall with 4 or 5 Ft. in the ground so your working with your head around 22 Ft. above the ground.
I needed a job and found out the local phone company was hiring in their construction dept. so I signed up and got hired. I learned after getting hired that I was going to work in their pole line construction department as a apprentice lineman, not in the office building department
I needed a job so I grab it and a year later decided to turn it into career
The tallest pole I had to climb was a 90 Ft antenna pole for our company vehicle radios, after the first 45 Ft. it all looks like along ways down
It is amazing what you can do when you want to
