Two women get trapped after climbing a 2000ft radio tower because the rusty old ladder falls away, leaving them stranded.
The movie isn't bad, despite the climbing, electrical and general faux pas, but the really IRKSOME thing is they could have gotten down EASILY, with what they had. How? They had 50ft of rope. They could have looped it around the tower (which was less
than 4ft wide) put themselves on either side and shimmied down. keeping tension on their feet by pushing their bodies outward against the rope. Lumberjacks and telephone lineman do it ALL THE TIME!!
Their rubber shoes would have had excellent purchase on the rusty tower.
