I have a good list of experienced folks that work full time with other companies, or are fellow contract climbers, that I can reach out to join me on a project. I'm happy to coordinate getting them involved, and vouching for their experience, however I'll ask that y'all work out compensation.

I have been a contract climber for the majority of my 25+yr career. Over the years, I've built a reputation as a quick and very efficient climber, capable of safely and successfully completing whatever is put in front of me. I have all of the equipment I could possibly need, from a 201 to an 881, from light rigging gear to a GRCS and a collection of 3/4" rigging blocks. From orchard pruning, to removing huge trees in the most awkward locations without crane access: I can be your secret weapon.

I am a certified crane operator with a knuckle boom endorsement, that I was able to attain through working to help clean up after the Lahaina wildfire. As a contract climber, I have worked hundreds of crane assisted removal through my career. When the opportunity to learn about the other side of the machines presented itself, I jumped at it. Whether you need a temporary replacement, or a second operator to work with a new machine, I'm happy to be of service.
