A good climber makes it look easy and moves within the crown with what looks like very little effort, fluid and smooth. There's one guy I work with every now and again who doesn't even seem to be excerting himself, very fluid.

Counter to what i and it would seem many believe; if the climber has been frantically climbing abot some monster oak for dead wood and the 2 or more groundsmen have had time for coffee fags and alittle snooze, it doesn't then seem right that the climber should have to do anythink but have fag and cofee while watching others working.

So i guess the climber clearing up is only when all things are equal. i.e not on some jobs.

Reg's 17 cut take down for example was very ground orientated, while he spent much time waiting to rig out the next piece.

Swings and oh yes them roundabouts. They make my head all spinny.

Experience.

 

A good understanding of physics for lowering and a good understanding of tree biology for pruning.

 

Someone who loves a new challenge.

has to really enjoy what he does and be able to take shxt on the chin. and have a sense of humour, otherwise youd just get too fxxked off with it.. mi thinks

 

Thats a really good point. Enjoying the job makes everything else much easier for everyone.

A sense of humor is one essential that must be packed in the kit bag in the morning.

If you cant have a giggle, then put a revolver in with your sandwiches.
