back to the original question: we have a young lady on our team

very commited

good climber

not afraid to get stuck in and do whats asked of her.

 

she has her limitations - but also her strengths.

[Mesterh]

I dont know any.

 

There were a couple in college but they werent built for tree work and soon dropped out, well, they went into the consultancy side!! No joke, on tutors recommendations.

 

There were also plenty of men who also werent built for tree work and also dropped out.

 

Have no problems whatsoever of women in arb, as long as they are good at the job who cares?

 

Theres plenty of men getting it wrong on a daily basis.

That would be Jess then? She's a good climber alright.

 

But no sense of humour.

[skyhuck]

There are loads of guys who come into arb only a few become very good.

 

There are far fewer girls coming into arb so the chances of there being many very good ones is less, but I'm sure they are out there.

I think if I had a female in my team I would be seriously injured, not by her but by myself showing off. Lifting bigger bits, climbing like a monkey on speed and generally being an idiot. Or being hit by the mrs and accused of having an affair just for working with her. Lol

 

This isn't a sexist, racist, homophobic or dig at anyone!

Apart from myself.

And the wife...

[skyhuck]

I think one of the main reasons there are not many lady's in arb is the fact that their husbands and boyfriends won't want them working round all us hunky tree men
