Hey smelliott, from the neck down is allowed on here. No one would recognize you in the future. Might just help! Sorry but I didn't catch your age. lol
Have you really thought about this? Climbing is just the start, see if you can do that first. Lotta tough people thought they could do this job. Most aren't as tough as they thought. Different breed all together. Gonna be a long wait, hope your Dad can employ you until something opens up. Good luck.
