what do you do if you cant climb?

[Dilz]

im currently on a take it easy time (managed to get a couple weeks surveying in as well as a week off) to nurse a shoulder muscle injury, i was speaking to an old work mate who is laid up because he dislocated his knee...getting into the van! and the topic came up of 'What on Earth do you do if you cant climb?'

 

i suggest helicopter pilot.....

Machine operator?

[Sam Thompson]

Management

[Rich2484]

Take up a very positive self appointed supervisory role.

What would be the point of going on! I dont even want to think like that, but i could go back to being a City banker if things got tuff!

or brain surgeon:lol:

those who can do, those who cant consult, maybe time to buy a rubber mallet....

This is a big question, not to be glossed over with flippancy. I've been "on the club" since October, and every day I've been fighting hard to regain strength and fitness so I can return to work. I'm just about there now, 6 months down the line. But what if I just can't do the job any more, i mean the level of fitness is extreme, its one thing being fit, but another to be work fit for this job. management? I'm no manager. Consultant? It's not me. Then what? I really don't know, but I will be back... Somehow!

you could be a stunt fell specialist no need to climb then

[Rich2484]

Had a thought what is the life expectensy of a climber, I don't mean death I mean climbing, how long Dow the average climber go for before there body says enough of the abuse?

[Rupe]

Depends on the abuse!! When I started I was told you have ten years or until your 30, whichever is the sooner. But things have changed a lot since then, and climbing is easier.

 

I think working full time for a company where time limits everything will wear anyone out pretty quickly though. I dont climb to strict time shedules anymore because its not worth it, but having said that I am quick enough to get things done on time due to good planning and efficiency rather than strength/energy.
