Re: Climbing Safety
In designing our climber, one of our design constraints was to always have at least three points of contact with the tower, and to be able to lose power (or be disabled) at any time with zero risk of falling (barring ridiculous things like shearing large amounts of metal).
If we couldn't figure out a legal method with those constraints, the decision was to not even try to go beyond ten points.
