True if she decided to climb the cell tower while using it...

Anything to get a signal!

Climbing a cell tower, assuming you can get over the fence in the first
place, might well give you access to a better signal, but not from the
tower that you're climbing. The antennas have a certain amount of down
tilt, but there's still a big dead area underneath.
