Hey Norm do you need anymore proctors of the exam? I am free and certified by the ISA to proctor the test and all that good stuff.

 

[tod_k]

For sure.

 

[Norm_Hall]

Hey Ty, thanks for the offer. We can use you.
We have another who wants to become a proctor. The infamous Bryan Kotwica will be there to observe and help where he can. Eduardo Medina will also be there to help with translation. TK and myself usually do the gear inspections and score the 'work climb'. Would you be comfortable doing the knots and 'on rope rest'?

 

[PUClimber]

Certaintly that would be fine with me. If interested I could also talk to Joe about coming. We both got certified to proctor the test last summer. Do I need to bring my certificate to show you or anything or is there a list somewhere?

 

[Norm_Hall]

I'll let you know. I don't know how many have registered yet.

 

[PUClimber]

Good deal Norm. You and TK just let me know when and where if you need some help just give me some notice as to where and when and I'll be more than happy to help.

 

[tod_k]

Hey Norm, the A.R. class is full. Mike D. is coming up to help with that. Will that be enough?

 

[Norm_Hall]

We should get at least 1 more, better to have 2.

 

[PUClimber]

Just thought I'd update this and say I'm still on if need be Norm, and TK just let me know when and where.
