Welllll...All I know is what I remember the Union Rep tellin' me last year bud. Climbing school is a week long, and no, you do not get paid. You get room and board though. Its pretty intensive from what I heard, climbing ain't that hard though. Just learn to trust your equipment and you'll be fine. It's hard to believe that a tiny little spike can hold you as you swivel and move and reach out, but it can. Only time I fell was I wasn't paying attention, had my safety lengthened all the way out, and I stepped in it hahahaha. Pulled my ass right off the pole. I was laughing at my buddy next to me who didn't follow instructions and cut out. Pay attention!
