Used a 90 footer to trim trees

Lots of wiggle when it was fully extended
Can't imagine I would be real comfortable in that 185 footer

But I ain’t ever seen a 185’ pole. A 95’ rock set is wobbly enough……lol

Tallest wood pole I’ve ever climbed was a 115 foot h structure outside of Sheridan Wyoming,deadened 345 kv triple bundled conductors out on a hook ladder on what they said was a 180 foot tower but I wasn’t clear to the top someone else was up there deadending the statics ,putting the wire in shoes at the bottom of the insulators on165 foot towers from a man lift really has you looking down to the ground and thinking about the stability of your outriggers we were always told we shouldn’t be operating them if the wind was over I think it was 40 mph but that got pushed in emergencies

We were told in AirAssault school after 34 feet, your level of fear really didn't change up to however high you went. I didn't believe that at all. Big difference looking off a 34' repel tower and out of a helicopter flying at 400'.
