That windy day on a 190 foot pick in downtown Denver

Was setting a 4 ton AC unit on a 12 story roof. Wind was gusting at 25 mph according to my anemometer. Load started swinging bad on the way up, almost clipped a window. I hit the brake and waited 20 minutes for the gusts to die down before finishing the lift. Anyone else had to shut down a job mid pick because of weather?

Yeah that gust changed my mind on sending it solo. Had a spotter after that.

Wish I had a spotter too @max223, but I had a squirrel cheering me on.

Did you have someone on the ground watching the swing for you?
