These are the tools of the trade for the Eighth Coast Guard District Aids to Navigation Training
Team. During the two day tower course, students are taught how to properly
inspect and rig tower climbing equipment. Equipment inspections include checking
the hardware for damage, as well as inspecting the webbing and stitching of the safety
harnesses. After safety inspections are complete, it's time to put thier
training to the test and climb.
The last challenge of the tower climb
course is a tower rescue.
