We also have a steep standing seam, metal roof. I've always wanted to build a pair of felt sole, magnet embedded shoes for roofing work. I check our chimney once a year and use a hunting stand harness that is tied off with a rope to my tractor. I built a simple 2x4 fixture to place on the ridge cap so that the rope wouldn't crease it. Steep, standing seam metal roofs are great - as long as you don't have to get on them

When adjusting

Trying to save money can get you killed at times. Don't become a house adjuster please.
You need a long climbing rope, full harness.
Throw rope over offside and tie off, over the ridge.
But I'll bet you learned this time.

I don't adjust any longer, ankels and age will do that to you.
Glad you didn't die. cool


Recently quit adjusting also. After 40 years of climbing roofs, even flat roofs started looking dangerous. grin
