Reminds me of my pole climbing school at Bell Atlantic/Verizon. I try to avoid gaffing these days at all costs, LOL.

I remember these days....if it's anything like i went through in training, they are breathing hard because they are probably on about their 7th or 8th thirty five or forty foot tap out in the past 5-7 minutes. Hahahahaha....I'm a big guy and it damn near killed me some days. Ten 40's in the morning and ten 40's in the afternoon, but I wouldn't trade one second. One of the best times of my life....no matter how hard it was some days.

Damn, he's hugging that pole like's about to make love to it!

[johnmason2354]

It's a training school...

Geeze...

I remember the first time I climbed a pole when I was 15 yrs old, BEFORE OSHA.

[jlineman2008]

that was some poor climbing and out of breath on a 40 give me a break not smooth and stomping the pole

[iluvtumbling]

after 20 feet you will crack your taint.

[scifihunnybunny]
