I Need to get quicker at climbing

[michael larder]

I wasn't being sarcastic and I'm not an idiot either!

I was having a laugh, it's obviously gone over your head.

Read it in a year or 2 and you'll get it.

As for speeding up, just do things quicker.

Great advice for doing things quicker . I Think the council would have something to say if i did that to a tree that was down as a general prune though haha

It was a bit of tongue in cheek mate that's all. He's right, once you've got a bit of full on experience you'll be able to relate.

 

I love a bit of competition between me and my ground crew. They take great pleasure in telling me they've run out of brash if they're keeping on top of it, and vice versa if they're not.

 

Don't focus too much on dashing around like a stabbed rat. Keep steady, plan your work as you go, and watch other climbers. If you keep it up one day you'll be slick and efficient and you won't have even noticed the transition.

 

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

Good on you, it should come quickly. If you want to be good at something, it tends to happen IMO.

 

Nah, there's as bit of a trend for climbers to become primadonnas (crashing a huge bit down then having a rolly while the poor lads below scramble to clear it), it's a standing joke on our team. Seems he was just suggesting that's how you should climb. Scottish humour can be tricky sometimes

I worked for a company where, before my time, a Prima Donna was playing up. The older, and more cantankerous, groundie dipped the end of his rope in the fuel can and set light to it.

On another occasion he tied off the end of the guys rope so he couldn't descend while they enjoyed the tea and biscuits supplied by the client.

He learnt eventually, apparently.

The quickest climbers aren't alway the best. I aim to get to the top as quick as possible, drop big bits when & where I can, and to be as safe as possible.

[Paul Jenks]

The best climbers are the ones who know how to regulate the workflow. They work harder to make the groundies lives easier when the groundies have it hard and cut off bigger bits when they have a lot of guys to keep busy. Being quick and neat around a tree is a given. They have to work as part of a cohesive and supportive team.

Anyone who makes a big mess has no place with us.
