The logging tower straps to the protruding casing of a borehole allowing a sheave to extend up above the borehole (for borehole logging) with no need for any kind of tripod or crane. In the past, the logging tower has been used by Gary Clow and Ryan Bay to log the GISP2 and GRIP boreholes. Its dimensions are 58" L x 18" W x 16" H and the shipping weight is 180 lbs.
