	the only type I've seen is the friction cable or the rode with the notches in it. All men are created equal, then a few become firefighters.

	I've seen them multiple places. They are called fixed rail ladder systems http://www.millerf...r-climbing-systems http://www.csao.or...les/Alerts/a26.pdf I haven't found a fixed rail grab for under a couple hundred, cable grabs can be had for under 100.

You don't use this kind of safety harness attachment in the States?

I've seen rail systems like that once or twice. They seem to be uncommon in the U.S. This is probably due to the cost of such a setup compared to a simple steel cable.

	Fixed Rail systems seem to have been replaced with cable systems. Most older or abandoned structures still have them (integrity?) Oftentimes I see them coupled with ladder cages. borrowing these from the abandoned dreams 09's site: Also my avatar Image, you can see an old system on the ladder behind me: http://2.bp.blogsp...FNnCU/100_4022.JPG And you can see the shiny new fixed rail to go with new paint: http://3.bp.blogsp...b6J_0/100_4389.JPG So they are still in selective use. Fun note: that tower is dead (or at least unlisted on all antenna listings) and the water tank lacks transmitters because of two cell towers next to it. I usually find cable systems to be the norm for active things. "No risk, no reward, no fun." "Go all the way or walk away" escensi omnis...

0__o woooow... with no harness too, incredible! some people are fearless

cool tower shots uLive; earlier this year I was inspired by your crane photos and climbed an ~80 foot radar? tower and a water tower; I was shaking so hard at the top of the first one that my climbing partner had to calm me down cause the vibrations were freaking him out hahah. awesome experience though, conquered my fear of heights to an extent

I've seen this on an active tower at a college campus in the states, but only there. not even the ladders for other towers on the campus had it
