Recommended Posts

The best groundies are climbers who happen to be on the ground. I would only pay a groundie the same as a climber if he could do all the usual groundie stuff without being told to...as well as.....

He would be able to fell any tree that was fellable with the equipment that was available to him.

 

As well as that he could tell an inexperienced climber what to do, IE where to tie, where to place gear, where to cut, what cut to use and so on.

 

He would also be able to drive and operate all my machinery and fix it if it broke.

 

He would be able to converse knowledgeably with clients and tell them why they can't have "just a bit more off".

 

He would be able to speak to neighbours who enquired after costings and confidently price and win the job.

 

And he would remain cheerful throughout whatever clients, neighbours or pedestrians said or did.

 

Thats what I do when I'm not climbing and if someone came allong who could do the same I'd pay him climbers money.:thumbup1:

 

Sums it up nicely Tom, Good post :001_cool:
