Can you give us some idea of what is covered in the class??

Is it all from a climbing perspective or operator too??

 

[TheCraneManInc]

Our basic goal is to show climbers how to safely work with a crane. The beginning of our first day is spent in the classroom. Both our climbing instructors and crane instructors will go over techniques that can be used, safety, rigging, crane limitations, etc.We have instructors in the tree with the climber, and on the ground with the students not climbing at the time. We have head sets to keep the climber and crane operator in contact, and try to touch on everything that we covered in the classroom while in the field as well. After each pick we take a few minutes to review it, and get feedback from the climber instructors and the crane operator. It is a good mix of information from both experienced climbers and experienced crane operators.

If you run this annually I will be in next year when I have some more experience. It is local for me, but I'm light on the tree climbing experience

 

[MatthewMMeckley]

If only i knew about this earlier. Lil strapped for cash with driving out there. Hope it happens next year.

If you come out north west I could probably fill your class but I'd almost guarantee 3 guys

This is our 5th year of running the course and we hope to do it every year until there is no longer interest. We do have some guys that come out for the class to observe without climbing. There are a lot of students and instructors on the ground that are always willing to share ideas and give advice. Any experience level can get something for the class. If you have questions etc feel free to email or call us. [email protected] or 215-996-1033

That might be something to consider for the future.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Well, there you go!

That might be something to consider for the future.

I'd be very interested in the future west coast possibilities. I'm only 5-6 hours from Willie SOTC.

I have gone to every workshop except for last year's (due to financial issues) and I can honestly say that YOU WILL NOT find a better crane class than this one. Sign up ASAP guys!
