American climber looking to move to UK

[Brandon Parsons]

Hey fellas 👋 I'm an American climber and I want more than anything to live and work in the UK. There's a woman there and l love her 😢 there must be something I can do. Any friendly advice for me? Like is there a big demand for Climbers there? Thank you for your charitable time.

Is it Cheryl Cole?

 

Plenty work here for experienced climbers!

Good climbers are aways in demand.

We have qualifications over that you need to have to be employed. Regardless of how good your climbing is the company you work for won’t be able to have you under their insurance. This basically translates to you earning shit money regardless of how good your climbing is.

If you’re serious about coming to the UK, look up NPTC qualification and book an intensive week course if you have experience. Spend money to make money.

I worked with a guy from the US good enough climber, but was on groundsman money. He couldn’t get his head round it and eventually left. There 100% a demand for climbers over here mate, smaller trees than the US but way more technical stuff.

Bold statement.

Bold statement.

Have you worked in the US? I personally haven’t, but I have worked in Australia with similar size trees & landscape. I can assure there is way more space, and less obstacles. Bold if you like but an educated statement.

The only thing I can see you having a bit of a steep learning curve with are crown reductions. Three years working in the states and two in Canada and I never did a single one.

 

Come over for a visit,see if you like it and make some employment enquiries.

 

Do your own research regarding what Visa you need,do that through UK Government websites.Visa information is often difficult to understand,so if nothing is clear,contact your local Embassy directly.

 

This is probably a good start:
