5. The other strange thing was that the crew was dressed in old tank tops and shorts.

One of the crew was a middle aged lady. She wore a tank top, shorts, sneakers.
One of the men was older.

These two were rummaging around in a trunk full of ropes, throwing stuff around.
They seemed anxious. I didn't know if I was witnessing a robbery or if it was all legit.

While the other guy is climbing way up to the top of the tower, very high up.
They are not even looking at him.

If I was climbing up a significant ascent on rope, I would at least wear long pants and shirt for protection.
And the other crew members as well.

It looked like the employer had just hired people off of a Walmart parking lot.

It was all so strange.
