Seems to be a dislike for climbers communicating with the ground guy. I'm always asking my groundies opinion, doesn't mean I'm incompetent or incapable. It's a different viewpoint and a second opinion

You talk to the ground people?

Yea just look back a page or 2. Several posts incinutating that asking groundies opinions is a sign of incompetence.

 

Well if we’re going to derail then let’s do it!

 

I regard the work site as a kind of benevolent dictatorship, I might ask if a branch is over a power line, or is there anything underneath that can get smashed, can they see any hangers or rips, but I’m 99% of the time after facts, not opinion.

 

What opinions would you seek from your groundy?

Do you think I'm an arsehole because I don't value the opinion on my ground team?

Bloody hell, who rattled your cage? You’re ‘projecting’ in modern parlance.

 

Back the truck up a bit.

 

Just to be clear I’m referring to interactions between the climber and the groundsman regarding aerial work.

I bow to my GM’s superior mechanical knowledge, his better reversing of a trailer and a few other things.

But in a decision about what things might happen in a tricky rigging situation, that involves me being vulnerable, it’s my call.

Pretty much what you've outlined

Also whether my new chainsawpants make my bum look big?

You should have been more specific. I thought you were living up to the climbing Arbtalker elitist sterotype that I try to quash at every turn! :)
