Work in Europe?

[Rupe]

Hi there.

 

 

 

Also whats the deal in Germany, I heard that Germans aren't allowed to climb above 30 ft, so they have to employ non Germs.

 

Any info welcome. Cheers

 

That info is well out of date! It was true for a while and they hired in brits and then later eastern europeans did it cheaper. Now the Germans can do it, they have strict HSE type stuff but no height restrictions. German climbers are of really high standard so you might only get work if your really good, same in sweden too from what I hear.

Thanks for that Rupe. A mate of mine did a stint at Tradmastarna some years back, said it was good work, dead wooding big oaks and taking pines down mainly. He said the beer is good too.

 

Do you know any firms in Germany?

Cheers Nick will check it. How you doin anyway? Saw one of your lads reducing a birch the other day.

Sorry, don't know any firms there. I guess the only german climbers I know are competition climbers so perhaps it was not fair of me to comment on the overall standard in germany, they have SOME very good climbers thats all I know!

Good, thanks. And you? From what I`ve been told from climbers who have worked there, the money is better than anywhere else, but you do earn it.
