CUTTERS AND CLIMBERS COMPETITION - 16TH & 17TH APRIL 2011

 

In its sixth year, the annual Cutters and Climbers Competition is being held once again at the East of England Game Fair. As those who regularly attend will know, we pride ourselves on making the event bigger and better every time around.

 

The competition is open to all qualified climbers and chainsaw operators regardless of age and gender. It consists of three individual climbing, spiking and chainsaw events with separate and combined prizes for each. The vast majority of competitors compete in all three, with the chance to win the much coveted ‘Most Employable Person’ title, based on scores from all three events.

 

• Climbing event, a solo simulated work scenario tests climbers with a variety of targets and aerial challenges such as our hair trigger limb walk which challenges competitors to get as far out on an artificial branch as they can without setting off an alarm.
  
• Chainsaw event competitors are expected to fell a standing stem, de-limb and cross cut an artificial tree with points will be awarded for the precision of cuts and the time taken to achieve them.
  
• Pole climb pits two competitors head to head up the largest poles we can transport down the road. Although these fall short of the 80ft monsters that you might find at the UK championship, they more than make up for it in speed and splinters.
  
• Team relay events (Spiking/Felling/Snedding/Axe Crosscut)
  

 

Whilst we do take entry on the day, those that pre-register get free entry to the game fair (which you need to get into the comp!) download the application form below and email/post as directed. Any queries, either PM me or email [email protected]

 

I look forward to seeing our regulars, some new faces and maybe some jaded defectors from that other inconviently timed event...
