Irata Level 1 Rope Access

[Donnie]

Anyone on here ever do any steeple work or rope access? Not tree climbing/surgery

I did a stint labouring for a well known Steeplejack in Bolton in the mid 90’s.

No bother with HSE /Tickets at the time, just got on with it, you would be entering a different world now.

Effing hard work in bad weather and pretty scary at times, good crack if your with the right team though.
I look back at it with fondness, as I allow myself forget about having to trawl around all the pubs in town on a Friday afternoon looking for my wages.

I thought rope access was for pussies! just keep tying triple extension ladders together until you get to the top 

If you are going new school wear motorcycle leathers!

My oldest is named Betsy, I regularly tell her she was named after this.
