  Did that for 15 years with the phone company. Get anxiety looking back it. Was taught by an older gentlemen just like him. Don't sleep on these guys very very knowledgable from the old school.

  I've been climbing for 33 years. Of course during those years we didn't have such fall protection gear.  Our form and technique is what saved our lives. Now the company I work for utilizes the Supersqueeze and the Cynch -Lok.  Professionally speaking, your form is spot on. Excellent circling technique also.  Nicely done.

  It's great to see the dedication and hard work that goes into providing quality education and training. The campus looks beautiful, and the programs offered seem diverse and engaging. It's inspiring to witness the impact Blue Ridge Community and Technical College has on its students' lives. Kudos to the entire team for their commitment to excellence in education.

  Hi. Im a linesman from Australia and i have been in the business for 35yrs. We did all our climbing with ladders and pole chairs when i started but now we rarley break out the ladders and mainly use the EPV. But i admire you guys for doing it the hard way without ladders or the buckets. Great vid, especialy for us guys overseas. Thanks for the lesson.

  Best thing I found using " Spurs " to climb with is to have customized souls ( twice the Reg. thickness ) on your boots . This will stop the feet from going numb when standing on the " Spurs " shanks after a few hours .
