what should be expected

What should be from a groundsman

 

[KevinS]

Keep climber safe

Keep site tidy

Keep climbers day as easy and efficient as possible

The climber should do the same for the grounds man both jobs are equally important and that's just good team work, in my books.

 

[Mark Chisholm]

Be professional.

Is want to learn to climb one? It's not for everyone, but who else is there to teach?

 

[Treezybreez]

Brute strength, speed, safety conscious, and a willingness to learn about rigging.

Work till I say stop

Brute strength is good but your body does have cycles to failure so smart about moving material efficiently is good.

Some of our groundies are solid workers and good guys but have zero interest in climbing or being in the tree. They're happy with there job.

Work till I say stop

At minimum they should keep up or you should see there pain as they try there damnedest

To be onto enough stuff to keep you from being busted out of a top of a tree.

Mind elaborating on that?

A good ground guy should anticipate your will and start tasks without being told. If your client tips you because of excellent clean up, then you know you have a good ground guy.

Let the line run through the porty as it should.

 

[Oroboros]

Everything that I do when I'm on the ground. Intending excellence.

 

[treehumper]

Work in concert with the climber with an understanding of the arc of the job and anticipating the next step. True team work.
