Check out this story. It's about a man who repairs equipment on top of radio towers.

worked on cell phone towers for a few years before i went back to school. it was the best job i've ever had - lots 'o climbing, great exposure, worked with a bunch of other climbers.
there was that winter in Iowa though. brrrr, -30F with high winds and ice on the structure. guess it was all training one way or another.
