Very impressive athletics, it is nice to see this is practiced. Hopefully in a real world situation the caller would slow down his mayday call, so that people can actually understand what he is saying.

Great climber no doubt. I do have great reservations about creating a competition that encourages lineworkers to scream jibberish into the radio. I have watched several of these now and have struggled to hear any cohesive statement from any of these guys. Pole top rescue drills should not include calls for help, or should be extremely critical of their comms. Only thing worse that one hurt person on the pole? Two hurt people on the pole. Only thing worse that two hurt people on the pole? Two hurt people on the pole with no incoming backup or support.

In a real life scenario, you would use something sturdier than a screw driver and there would be a guy on the bottom holding the other end of the rope so the injured man doesn't just fall right?

[@chacehart7286]

Nope. Screwdriver works well enough to get someone down quickly and more often than not, the gentlemen atop the pole will be controlling the lowering down of the individual.
