yeah..... a few near misses! Just got a Go-Pro HD2 so will take better care of that!

I should have done a far more in depth description for this video!

 

When i say "first Dismantle"..... i mean more.... first climb.... ever!

I have never worked with an Arborist! (not for want of trying!) or been shown how to climb, just kind of taught myself:blink:

before this i had never even put on a pair of irons! The ones im wearing are brand new assembled the night before!

 

I'm 22 and run my own grounds maintenance business.

Recently (early this year) I did some tree work with a local company,

I was hooked!!! Now all I want to do is be a climber! so i decided to get all my own ppe, kit, saws etc and go for it!

hoping to be doing my cs30,31,38,39 very soon

Great stuff fella, pretty much the same as me although I've had 30,31 for years and passed my 38 a week ago, climbing is such a buzz, just make sure your methodical about what you do and don't loose track of where your at and you'll be fine. Keep it up fella and the best of luck to you.

One tip when your spiking up I throw my main line over my shoulder this keeps it away from my feet so I don't gaff my rope.
