    How much should a climber make an hour on average?

    hourly pay for my climber is based on the difficulty level of the tree and the weather conditions... for an easy tree on a nice day its around 20... if its freezing or super hot and the tree is very tricky he can make twice or triple that... he gets paid based on how much hell he goes thru.....

    probably too hot... yeah i have heard people call them elder pines, dessert pines, afgan pines, australian pines... since they look similar (but the form varies with age) we lump all that #### into one... they get pretty big around here... i took one down last year that was close to 90ft...
