Wind tech here. I dont know why he won't answer about the rescue gear but I will.

Some of the newer turbines have kits installed that contain 300ft of rope (avg) some have more, some have less. Miscellaneous carribeaners, rope grabs, and positioning cord / tie off for the descent control device. The descent device can be bracketed to a ladder or tied off to another rated surface with the positioning rope. It has a wheel and clutch system that allows you to pull someone up to detach their safety hooks so you can then lower them down at a controled rate which if I remember right is 3ft a second.

If the tower doesnt have a pre installed kit then we are required to take one up with us on the chain hoist when we climb.

Look up Tractel to get an idea of the kits I personally use. Skylotec makes really nice stuff too.

Edit: I can't spell but I'm leaving it to shame myself.

I believe he is referring to the SP2500, and I too would like to know this.
