Life can be good. You can be very busy if your good, depending on area.

 

Can I ask, how long you have been climbing? Could you do pretty much any tree in a timely and safe manner?

 

You will get a mixture of jobs, some out of the skill range of the person hiring you. Some cushy jobs but mostly the crap that people dont want to do themselves.

 

This week I have rigged out 4 large trees over targets that have been coated in Ivy and greenfly. That is the stark reality of the glamour of contract climbing.

yeah been climbing now for about 2 and a bit years. Still finding the odd tree that managers to through a spanner in the works but generally I manage to get around it.

 

I kind of thought it might be mostly all them rubbish jobs but for some reason I fancy just giving it ago.

I would say the experience that you gain before becoming a contract climber is most important.

 

People don't really want to hire you to learn a job. That want you in get the job done and they get paid. Hence my earlier questions.

 

On the plus side, on e you have been doing it for a while you will get and idea of who is good to work for and who extracts the Michael.
