Climbing TV/fm radio tower

I need more info on this tower, it's a 1200ft+ tv/ fm radio tower with a spire(yes all 3.) 2.5 months ago I climbed this about 4/5 up the interior ladder, passing by handful of antennas and dishes, and I did not feel any symptoms that I heard I was going to. I want to climb the spire though and I used gemini to get info and it says it's extremely fatal and will lose consciousness within 2 minutes. apparently the kw on this tower is 1000, but like I said it's been over 2 months and I have not felt anything. My friend who climbs towers says to move quickly past the antennas and dishes and I'll be fine, but this is a powerful tower, I'll provide pics of the tower so you can see what it's looking like.

If this one in particular is unsafe to climb this is a farm of 8 towers and there's an 1100ft tower that's on the other side that does not have a spire and is different.

Germany

What do you guys know about the Berlin area for urban climbing, I have a school residential there and I wanna sneak out

Note: not asking for locations, just asking for maybe some advice or tips about the local police or guidelines contrary to the uk

Antenna identification

Found this tower from an IG post by another climber. It looks like FM antennas at the top, but I'm not sure. I know it's an active tower, and I would also love to know whether I should also climb it or find something else, since some say to check its power and others say to just go somewhere else. It would also be my first climb, I can't really find anything better nearby, even this one is pretty far away from home, but still reasonable.

I don't think I've ever been this pissed off while climbing

I spent over half an hour trying to get inside one of the bridge's pylons. I crouched to hide from cars, I jumped fences, I crawled between pillars and road, ruining my clothes, checking door after door, all locked. And when I finally got inside, the top was closed off, which I ofc discovered at the very end, after climbing the entire ladder. The bridge wasn't very high, but still I'm disappointed.

Climbed a crane in 2022 after a breakup, finally uploading the full climb

Bit of context: I’d just come out of a breakup and wasn’t doing well. Spent a couple of weeks watching Shiey videos instead of dealing with anything. One afternoon I bought a GoPro off Marketplace and that night I climbed this.

I’ve never been so scared or so present. Nothing existed except the next three seconds and where my hands went. Everything that was going wrong in my life just wasn’t there for a few hours.

I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since.

Is the is roof possible? Has anyone done it?

This is the BMO centre in Calgary.
Idk if it has been done before.
I’m assuming it would take significant infiltration for most of it because of how it is built.

As a wanna be climber/urbexer how can I start?

I’m turning 18 next month so I still live with my parents who don’t know I love this hobby.
I really want to do it and know someone who also wants to.
Any advice on how to start?
I’m not scared of hights or anything but obviously working your way up is the way to go.
Aside from the obvious, like always bring a friend, and have flashlights and wear dark clothes for stuff u could get into trouble for, what is some advice?
The stuff I plan to use is Maribel hiking boots in black that are also like a running shoe hybrid, black raincoat, and mask and I have a small chest rig bag for phone and stuff.
Anything to recommend, and how do I start?
Just basically anything cuz I’m new
