Years ago, I met a man who took me up more than 1,800 feet above the ground in Gaston County. Here's how I got up there, what I saw, and what it's like to climb towers for a living.
Kinda seems like a job for robots now...at least rourine stuff like bulb changes. I know I could never go up there! Thanks for sharing the experience, Jeremy!
On building construction the lifts on the side of the incomplete structure are called hoists and not elevators. I know not what the critical distinction is nor how it changes from one type structure to another.
What a fantastic well written piece which petrified me till the end. Heck, the pictures gave me vertigo.
Really enjoyed this one, Jeremy. Such good writing. Way to go to the limits to research a story. Well done!

Article was "breathtaking"---haha! Excellent!
I can't imagine doing that for a living.
It makes my climb to the top of Oak Island lighthouse (at age 66) seem like child's play. (But I did get a T-shirt.)
This is beautifuil. Thanks from a retired journo.
Exceptional piece, Jeremy. Really nice work.
