What's the difference between a good climber and a good climber?
aaron mj replied to brothergrim's topic in Climbers talk
Ive worked in a few industrys now around the world, and with a fair few climbers. And i think a ''Good climber'' is 2 things. 1, consistantly changing environment;......... Crew, Tree species, equipment, industry type, Continued learning, Competitions, training. 2, being liked, by others in the industry. Ive seen so many climbers who are really good at what they do, but have a bad attitude to others etc. come second best in the eyes of others to really average climbers with the right attitude. There is a level of competency that most climbers will reach in there career, ''good climbers'' might remove or prune a tree say 30 mins faster, at both jobs that day........ you try and book a 1 hour job for a crew including travel. Hence a celing price in our industry. Difference is the boys like going home an hour earlyer. so your the best climber in the world. -
I reckon it would work pretty good with a camed device dude, its got a slippery feel to it and seems to stay quite stiff, Reminds me of Samson velocity a bit just a tad thicker.

Thanks for the help lads, always good to hear it from people who actually know whats what. Lets all hope things get beter for the uk industry sooner than later ay! Cheers MJ,

Alryt lads just havin a bit of a dig about to see how things are back home in the uk (KENT MAINLY) Ive been working abroad for a little over 2 years now and have pretty much missed the bulk of the resesion etc etc. Il be heading home at Christmas time and am looking to start contracting in late January. Ive been in contact with a few companys and there all happy as for a contractor, but there all only willing to pay about 130 a day with all saws rigging kit insurance etc etc. It sounds to me like its a bit cheap but i really dont know these days whats what. Is this the norm for experienced climbers at this point in time? Massive thanks. MJ

You sure they wernt just muggin you off? If ppe wasnt about now and i came to a monkey puzzle fell and my second climber was wearing a pair of shorts and no top id 100% send him up. Id have the camera by my side and a massive smile on my face................. Fair play though mate. Good effort on your part.
