Feel like I'm missing something here. Who's this? Also, for any newbies that're reading this thread, remember; metal and wet don't mix, and while dangling off stuff makes for a cool photo, you'd better be Spider-man, a Russian gymnast, or clipped in to something.

Bump that. Never climb on wet steel. 3 points of contact when climbing, always.
There is no "if I fall"... you fall, you die.
Don't think if you fall that you'll be able to catch a piece of steel 3 feet down or more. That crap only works in the movies and the after life.
Don't think twice about turning back on any climb if you think you bite off more than you can chew. A climb can go from easy to sketchy with a 3 foot section of damaged ladder. If it seems too dangerous, it probably is. Being alive to tell the story is the only thing that counts...
