I'm not a lineman, but I used to work on communications towers here in Southern NZ. There is nothing better than working 50m up on corner of a tower in the middle of nowhere. Awesome video of how rigging should be done!

The bucksqeeze is the most commonly used and a lot of companies are now adopting it. It takes alittle practice but after you learn how it works you will find it wont slow you down. I learned free climbing but now use the bucksqeeze or the hitch hiking method. If it saves just one life its worth it in my opinion. I also have a responsibility to lead the way for my apprentices and since the industry is going the way of the Bucksqeeze I figured that I would start using it.

dose any body free climb anymore, my company just caught on to the buck squeeze all the new guys have to use it but its comming for the rest of us I am afraid.
