I Need to get quicker at climbing

The best advice I read on here was by mark bolan and it was basically that a good climber gets the whole team finished fastest. If small bits constantly flowing are the best way don't be afraid to do it. No one will thank you for a massive brash pile which takes hours to untangle. The fastest and best days for me are when the groundy is bang upto date, whatever I ask for comes up fast because of this and we all Finnish roughly as I land.

The only other thing which I learned the hard way is picking a good anchor point to start with saves hours of struggles trying to work with a poor one.

Didn't he die in a Mini crash?

Bang on Tucky!

 

A crew that likes and respects your leadership's ability to make the whole crew's job easier?

 

That's the key to high production crews IMO.

 

Vain hotshot climbers that bury their crews and take too many breaks away from the most arduous aspects of groundwork?

 

Well, they ain't as popular with the lads at beer30!

Good post, I would also add that choosing one anchor point for one half of the tree then moving the anchor for the other half often makes life easier, IME :001_smile:

Indeed do not be afraid to move the anchor point as often as you need to.
