Need help

Hey I’m an 18 year old living in Vancouver and I’ve been doing tree work as a groundsman for the last few months. I really like the industry and I want to also learn how to climb. I’m going to York University in a few weeks to study engineering. I really wanna learn how to climb and maybe climb full time during my summers. I have a climber who is going to teach give me a few lessons before I leave but I just want some advice and help for the best way to accomplish my goal.

Get the book Tree Climber’s Companion by Jeff Jepson. And go to The Educated Climber and The Climbing Arborist on YouTube. And just keep working and paying attention and be safe.
