No more super tall tower 2! Straight vertical 90 degree towers like that, especially ones of that tower’s old height, are a real pain to climb compared to to their angled counterparts. Especially when you’re also carrying tools up with you.
I’m curious what they did with the extra carriers after moving the bottom terminal up the mountain. Are they sitting in storage or where they able to narrow the spacing and fit some of them on the haul rope?
