Can you pick out the ‘faults’ in the image ?

[Guest]

I was sent this photo via email of a ‘very experienced climber’ looking to work with a well established company. What concerns would you have ? On the other hand is it worth taking the guy on and putting him with one of the crews to learn from guys that a view as the top of their game ? Dilemma.

Doesn't look very experienced to me !!!!

2nd that about not being that experienced - however if you loiter around all day taking pics of climbers, then I am sure that most of us could look less than professional from the right angle.

That he was using a ms192. Crappy saw.

 

Honestly though, so what? Give him a go, you’ll know in 20 minutes if he’s up to it.

If he's going to have to supply his own PPE, then he's going to have to spend some money.
As far as the no strop and one handing goes, then an explanation that things are done by the book at the new place should do it.
If he doesn't listen, then he's probably not worth employing no matter how good he is at climbing.

I run a business. I have a duty of care. If you’re a cowboy yourself then you will support anything below what’s ‘best safe practice’ I expect that.

I reckon posting a photo on a public forum, that was sent to you privately, as part of job application without asking the permission of the subject rather takes away your moral high ground.

the lack of saw strop, chaps & harness make it look like it is outside the UK.
