IMO you don't need to train or go to the gym. Just climb. Your body will sort itself out eventually with the right muscle groups. Remember it's power/weight ration that's important, not just being ripped (at least that's what i tell myself )

i think it's any item of clothing that isn't suitable for wearing outside of work (ie company logo etc)

i was meant to do this a while back, thanks for reminding me! also i need to send a letter asking if they owe any tax (you can claim upto 6 years back for PAYE overpayments) my friend got a cheque for £700 that he really didn't expect!!
-
what is your experience? and also by minimal gear do you mean trunk wraps and natural crotch rigging?
-
As a quick example... One boss I know of doesn't put any money or time into the company and isn't doing too well. Another puts pretty much all the money and his time back into developing the company and is doing really, really well!

I'm working with Dan at the moment, you would be hard pushed to find a better all round climber round here. Good luck with going it alone
-
this one?
-
Full climbing kit, rigging gear (sometimes), 200t, bigger saw. (you dont want to borrow anything, not a good look imo) You won't need pl insurance as you will be covered under whoevers job it is.

this appeals to me more than the rope wrench. i like the fact that the hitch is at the top.
-
yes full time since the start of march, alan and kristian are good blokes!
-
might see this monster pop for myself (i work with kristian) good on you for getting a good amount done against the odds though... this kind of thing makes me just want to climb/sub for other people and let them have the headache!

Ban Ki Moon no less!! Anyone want to build an orphanage with me?!
alex_m replied to WorcsWuss's topic in The Lounge
well if that's the case rob, then 30% of nothing is...nothing, so you won't have to give anything away to those greedy orphans! you'll get to keep it all to yourself! where do i sign? -
hope that good price was between £725 and £ £760 +vat, depending on what bar you get (frjones)
-
very true. i would like to get on one of nod's workshops at some point.

I didn't start doing big tree contract climbing from day one. (should of made that clear. I did alot of rec climbing for a few months after college, whilst i worked in the woods doing alot of felling, then i found a job with a company who had just started, doing around 3 days a week mixed climbing and ground work. Being chucked in at the deep end as such helped me loads! here is my first reduction after a month with that company http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/picture-forum/11537-my-first-ever-crown-reduction.html

Good video cheers! Although i'll stick to a fishermans for my eye to eye cord (££££)
-
Tell them to put the contract on ebay, so we can all bid to pay them for it. Only fair mate.
