Agreed. Main centres that would be reasonable accurate depending on the firm but further out in the sticks you might be looking that as top whack if you're lucky. Unfortunately, in some of the back waters were still seen as glorified lawn mowing contractors. Usual look of surprise followed by "how much?".

i think thats an international phenomenon. Worked for a council, they pay graded climbers the same as those who sat on mowers - because its parks maintenance, and lads back in my home stomping grounds climb employed for whats around $12-15 NZ per hour and they are half decent to say the least.

 

I'm happy with what im being offered, not as much as earn in Sweden but Scandinavian winters are really getting to me. and its my last chance to get on the WHS visa so its time to get that bucket ticked off the list. I leave in one week, going to catch up with relatives for the first month and try do some surfing before working in Auckland. I just hope the beer is cheaper than Sweden, coz climbing gear aint!!
