There is a rather awesome techno-beauty in these flimsy telecoms towers too, when one considers the things that they achieve for us. "Monkeys manipulating miracles", I often think, as I watch people using electronic equipment without the slightest clue about how it works, or how much amazing intellectual effort it has taken to make it work.
Yes it was definitely worth the (rather easy) climb. In fact it felt like a bit of a cheat getting such good views for so little effort. The masts are certainly rather impressive Andrew, but the whole summit is a mess due to the ski area as well as the masts :(

Ooh what glorious scenery!
Ah, keep climbing, Ruth.
Well worth the climb, those views are amazing :-)

Of course, as my avatar shows, I consider myself a mere modest monkey too, lest you may think I don't...

Probably easier to climb towards such a spectacular view than it is to come down and leave it behind. Thank you, Ruth.
Oh... Ski Area? Yuk. Monkeys on slippy sticks. Still, I suppose everyone is allowed their fun. Golf anyone? Monkeys hitting their little balls...
