I’ve climbed that one a few years back (part of my job), Big b*stard guyed mast, I seem to remember it was called IBA/NTL Chilton IOW.?

I hope someone turned the power down first!

Nearest I've been is a few tens of feet up a trailer tower when "some breakwit" wired up the masthead preamp the wrong way round. That was scary enough.

Most of the High Power is up the top, which is a no-go area on most masts. There very strict with outside contractors as to where there going and what there doing on their Masts.

Below that level you’re fairly safe climbing as it’s mostly PMR, Paging or Cellular.  

There Scariest one for me was back in the mid 90's on the Ostankino TV Tower in Moscow. Once you get past the roof level, there was strange noises, bits of loose metal banging together and swinging loose coax cables all over the place, we couldn't wait to get out of that place.
