Self Rescue

[Rod]

I do 95% domestic work and to remain competitive you cannot add a rescue climber at £140 - £180 ontop of every domestic job,

 

how much

 

you can find someone for less than that pluss that wouldnt be 140 on top of the price it would be £40 over the £100 you would pay your normal groundie

 

unless climbers cant chipp that is:sneaky2:

You could employed a young keen college leaver a few days a week and give them a few hours climbing practice here and there. I bet you could get 1 for £60-70 and they would be stoked. Rescue line in any tricky tree. Its for your benifit.

 

Beleive it or not I am not trying to have a pop at you, but just imagine if you did need to be rescued and no one was there.

Interesting thread this.

 

Like I said earlier, when at work we always have two climbers on site – however, when I get the opportunity to do a little weekend work I’m always on my own, rightly or wrongly money is the overriding factor. I’ve never even thought of asking a work mate to come and help me out because profits would be cut by half. I’d rather take the risk thank you.

My groundy is permenant, I would not, do not send him home for the day just because I have a climber coming for the day.

 

That is the rate round here, that is if you want a "proper" rescue climber not someone with a ticket to tick boxes. I'm not after ticking boxes, I want someone who can ACTUALLY rescue me.

meaning that if he pays up to 180 for a climber he must pay around a 100 for a groundie

 

our climbers only get around that money

Surely if you have a permanent groundie who I presume you have a good relationship with? It would be worth putting him through the course? Talk to him...he's not going to suddenly want climbers money? Give a little climb every now and then to keep him in tune?

:

 

train the bugger then and let him do the easier stuff until he gets good

 

then you'll be sorted? why is that not already the done?

[sean]

What is the law regarding aerial rescue. Is it enough to have a rescue climber or is there requirement to have a rescue line of sorts in place?

And do you really think that this kind of rescue climber is of any REAL use????
