Yeah , its one of my dreams for when I get too old to lift stuff, that'll probably never happen.  Bought a loader instead.

I come home more tired from training than I do from climbing 🤣

What sort of courses do you run?

[Mark Bolam]

Onlyfans training.

 

It’s the only choice to make any money in this game.

@Mark Bolam knows. Heinous feet or a blown out rectum? I can help you capitalise. 

[Joe Newton]

He's got both by the way. The turkey teeth were paid for within a fortnight with my help.

Think I've just found Mark's profile?

Then your training is going well if hes using it!!

@Andy full Education/training wise the obvious next step is to do your Level 4. This will open the door to tree officer and consultant roles, but will also bring a lot to your every day Arb work.

 

In the meantime, a change is as good as a rest - it sounds like you're just stuck in a bit of a rut where you are and who you're working with, and have become the go to person for big dismantles. Lots of decent firms inside the M25 rely on good subby climbers for nice reductions, deadwooding etc. I'd do a bit of market research on companies in whatever bit of London you want to end up in and reach out to them for a few shifts. You can have a lot of variety and if you're good you can pick and choose who you work for.

 

You could keep an eye out for Arborist jobs with the City of London who have in-house teams that look after Hampstead Heath and Eppong Forest. Otherwise I think the Royal Parks have contractors do their tree work and local authorities will have a mix.

 

As others have said IRATA /Industrial rope access is another option with lots of work in on London, but I've never met someone in rope access that wasmt working on their exit strategy out of the industry.
