Rich Rule

How to keep going after 30?

Man up and crack on.  
 

There are so many people who simply cannot handle the physical and mental demands for this industry.  They quit after a few years with some excuse or another:  I doubt there is a long term climber out there who hasn't had a serious issue in their career.  The difference between them and the short term’ers - they don’t quit when it gets tough.  That is the bloody mindedness you need to excel in arb.  It is also the same attitude that gets you through the difficult jobs.

Too many people out there looking for a easy life IMO. 
 

Classic example of someone who cannot hack it, was the fool who wrote the article that was published by the AA.  The thread about freelancers being parasites.

If it is so called career progression?  I can’t think of anything worse than surveying for a utility company.

No.

Job and knock is going home when you finish the job not working to a set number of hours.

In other words you graft hard to finish the day a bit early and then have the rest of the day off.

I still use it.  The spine does wear in to a rope.  I tend to use it when I do spruce and pine and sappy trees out here.  Mainly because it responds best to tachyon due to the wear on the spine.  The tachyons gets used as it is an old rope which I don't mind getting crapped up.

I have a couple of Rope runners as well which I rend to use on the bigger climbs requiring a longer rope.  

But whenever I use the BDB again, I realise how good a piece of kit it it.
