Contract climbing?

[welwell]

That's one of my concerns. I consider myself pretty competent, and haven't come across a situation I've felt uncomfortable dealing with for quite a long time.

However when I see the competition climbers etc, and compare myself to them, and wonder if they are the sort of climbers I'll be competing for work with.

I'd say I compare quite favourably with most of the climbers I've met through work, but it's a gamble I guess.

 

Mate I've seen you climb and I KNOW you'll have no problems at all once people have seen what you can do, like Steve says competition climbing is a totally different thing.

Oh and being self employed you will have less time on your hands. If you have a few people wanting to give you work youlll find yourself working Saturday to try and keep everyone happy.

 

I don't agree with that, I have far more spare time than I ever had slaving for some other head case, five days a week, long days, BS company politics, sheesh! I don't miss it at all.

if i do lack spare time its only by choice, ie running this. before arbtalk i had quite a leisurely time of it.

Well, I think circumstance has made the decision for me.

 

Thanks for all the replies. It's been a big help.

 

Oh, and if anyone wants a climber....
