It was said several times, but I still want to say it again. Look out for the climber, and he will always want you around. When ther are 3 guys on the ground basicaly doing nothing -because nothing has come down yet- I really appreciate the ground guy who is paying attention to my ropes and will walk over and move them to keep them from twisting, and who will yell up to tell me that my flip line is caught on a small stub when he sees that I am struggeling with it, who is waiting there ready to tie on the saw or block or what ever else I may need to haul up after I'm in place.
It really ticks me off when people are so "not there" that I have to holler down to them to do these basic things.
A GOOD ground man is a wonderful thing. I have one, and I try to take care of him and keep him a$ happy as I can.
