If you could only have 3 climbers...

[cory]

Mark C., Lawrence S., Reg C.

Of course those 3 together would be overkill, any one of them would be plenty to nuke any job.

 

[Boomslang]

Me, myself, and I. That's more than enough drama.

 

[Bendroctanus]

Gerry Beranek, Rich Baker, and Richard Mumford

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Steve Connally, His Crane, Mark Chisholm

Only climbers that I have actually seen climb:

Bernd Strasser
Mark Chisholm
James Kilpatrick
(Cormac Nagan – I’m in awe watching him climb; the way he sees the tree & path before even starting !)

I spent six months learning from Cormac. While I’ll never be him, I am always grateful for that time. It changed my career. One day he said he was jealous of anyone who got to work with another climber, which got my attention. I eventually ended up working with that climber for almost two years. Between the two of them, they defined and refined my approach to tree work, and how I look at a lot things outside of tree work.

So I’ll take:

Cormac
Yona Owens
Caleb Mende

I was wondering if this thread would get any traction but I'm learning alot of names I didn't know, great responses

Like many things in life the cream don’t always rise to the top. During my career I have worked with many climbers who are just as skilled as any of the YouTube stars and big names listed here.

For sure. I remember one of Regs videos where he said the same thing about one of the guys he was working with at the time he was filming his own video. Lots of skilled folks don't crave the social media spotlight.

That said, I'd pick Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan and Dylan for the best rapper climber.
