When i used to climb with Kenny he'd occasionally tell me what his brother had been doing. I remember one job involved getting up to a roof and hosing bird sh1t off it. Nice. Most outdoor jobs are the same. Great when the weather is good, horrid when its not. Kenny Smith’s brother does it.

In retrospect I can see a lot of bad bits to it as a job, wind being one. It can get to about 60mph at the top of the tower for instance.

The downside is a lot of them end up on the rigs, as that's where the money is. It's also one of the few area's that's stable in terms of work, the rest tend to be contract driven (set up ropes on building site, move on) Rope Access is something that a lot of climbers do as a way of subsidising a life of climbing.
