Here's a pole climbing class for telephone electricians back in 1918.
These students from the Army Training Corps at the University of Michigan are
learning how to climb telephone poles, which isn’t really a life skill
that many people think about but it makes sense that there would be a
class for something as important as climbing phone poles.
These
students were learning how to climb poles and repair phone lines at the
tail end of World War I, a time when it was important for people to be
knowledgeable about setting up phone lines as well as making sure
methods of communication could stay open. How long do you think these
students were posing?
