I agree, a good groundman is worth the same as a good climber. Trust a man with a saw and ropes he can make the job run very smooth, get an idiot and it all grinds to a stop.
Yup....for regular crew, I want everyone to be a climber, or at least, a VERY skilled ground man. My regular guys make $200-350 for a full day. Extra grunt laborers get $130-160 a day...and don't get invited back if they can't get the work done.
