I'm scouting this tower and I don't know if its hazardous to climb (radiation wise). I just want to get to the platform part but theres a cluster of transmitters I have to climb through. I was wondering if anybody recognizes them and what their danger level is. The tower is owned by Telus and is in Alberta Canada.

That's one beastly looking tower. Judging by the fact that there seem to be a metric fuckton of transmitters, I'd say it's best to leave this one alone.
Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing.

But what if I cover myself in tinfoil and climb up through it, but I might be on the news as some passerby sees this shiny creature climbing up through it and causes the tower to explode in sparks and fire like a fork in a microwave.

I think Tesco used to sell RF underwear (think chainmail briefs with a grounding strap) for use in high RF environment.
or do what I have too for work, wear a Nardalert and when it starts beeping climb faster. If you feel warm or your metal fillings start to hurt that's a bad sign.

RF is nasty stuff.
You can throw a fluorescent light bulb in the field of an antenna and watch it light up.
High power radar is cool. Birds fly in front of the antenna and get microwave cooked in mid-air.
They say to never look into a waveguide, The people that do usually have their eyeballs explode.
In order to use your head, you have to go out of your mind. |

a RF burns can be horrible, they can tunnel through your skin
see:
my boss once was changing a antenna on a Saber and it keyed up on him, burned a tunnel in one side of his hand and out the other
i was next right next to a 3dB gain antenna on a 100watt radio when a coworker keyed it up, i think i could feel it in my bones, i got out of the way quickly and yelled at him

Let me guess, the other side was blue.
Oh good, my slow clap processor made it into this thing.

not sure in that case, i found that photo on line, we have not had anyone get hurt around here from RF for a while (the PA DIS switch is my friend)
