The photo to the left shows the tower base. It is wraped in a fence section to a height of 6 feet. The fence material is tied in with wire. This prevents curious children from climbing the tower. The harness that I wear when climbing has a belt that runs behind my butt. At each hip is a short section of chain with clip hooks that can be clipped to a tower rung. Whe clipped on the tower, I can lean back against the butt strap and use both hads comfortably. A line attached to the chest ring is used for safety. When climbing, I am always clipped in with at least one clip.

The photo to the right shows the harness from a better angle.
