Tower climbing

Nathan is going back to school! At the end March he's going back to Yorktown, Virginia to attend a week-long tower-climbing course. All Guardians have to be certified to climb any tower over 20 feet. Nathan might have to climb a tower as high as 150 feet in his buoy-tending career, so he's getting this special certification. It'll be a nice break from the Alaskan winter : )
