Yeesh Adam, looking at those pay rates and given the cost of living in the UK you sure you want to go back? You can always move out Ch'ch if it's only the earthquakes doing your head in.

Does he get to test drive the wife and the Merc before he agrees to this deal?

I was offered $27.50 an hour in Auckland in 1999, how does that compare to now ?

Pretty good I'd say. Average seems to be between $20 and $25 per hour for a good climber with a bit extra for the very good. That's employed not subbing though. Some of the city boys might be able to confirm that but at least that's what's on offer in the sticks.

Hi there not sure about Scotland but south west england for climbers on the books it can range from 75 to 100 per day using company kit , and as a subby climber with all your own kit then it's anywhere from 100 to 150 per day tops

 

Hope this helps
