A ladder may be heavy if you are far away from the truck.

Here the roads followed the terrain, and the lines cuts through , over the hills etc.

This ran quite far from the main topic so I have more relevant in

How did you solve twisted pairs on blank (bare metal) lines?

dag, yes the ladder does get heavy & difficult to maneuver sometimes, but not often. in some of our rural areas the lines are a challenge to reach, but mostly i am in the city.

as far as "climbers", we don't have anything such as you have shown. which look very easy & comfortable to use. our climbers are nothing more than a steel bar strapped to the leg, with a 1 1/2" spur at the heel. climbing this way is very tough on old knees & is very easy to cut out (slide down the pole)

did i miss something ...not sure why the inquiry about twisted pairs.  the copper conductors are either paper insulated or more modern plastic insulated.

Its only me   Not good enough to express my selves plainly.
I was thinking,    The old poles with insulators, and copper/steel wires. Some pictures linked in my reply here:

The revolving or twisting of the lines were more complicated with those lines.
Actually we have a few short lines still, listed and protected by the authorities.

They are so few, and I like them all especially those with the the right glance in their eyes.

Have a blessed
