Very helpful video!!! I've been watching a lot of videos on pole climbing but I have not really seen any mistakes or just amateur climbers. Watching this gave me insight on what not to do and how to fix the mistake. I have pole climbing school all next week and wanted to get a head start by watching and learning. Thanks for the quality video!

I climbed my first pole in '89. Burned a few. I hitchhiked a few times but preferred free hand. It's all about leaning back and keeping your weight pushing into the pole.

When I first went to pole climbing school 55 long years ago, we began with simple poles ten feet tall and it was strickly hand over hand so we could concentrate on learning the angle of gaffing. Maybe modern safety standards require learing with a belt right from the beginning. I don't know if this is best.

In Greece they use a curved piece of metal on each of their foot which goes arround the pole. Much easier and there is no need to hit the pole. The same human weight prevents the curved metal from slippery on the pole.

No you’re wrong, it’s requirement now to wear a fall restraint unless you can’t fall over 6 feet such as using your secondary over a neutral. When you climb down you once again have a fall restraint. OSHA would destroy the company if they caught their linemen still free climbing

As well as too loose around the pole. Her bf risked her having a serious injury. Wz just waitin for her to gaff out. Thank goodness it wz at the bottom. For me "hitch-hiking" the pole is cheating. I learned free-hand & wz never comfy tryin to hitch-hike. Secured my lanyard at the work spots.

When I was taught to climb, a belt wasn't used except when ice was on the pole and the buckle would cut into the ice. We climbed without a belt, military style. I was taught to climb in a spiral. I got to the top and belted off. My trainer told me to wait until he came back. Two hours later he returned from the coffee shop with me waiting like a dummy with dead legs. Lineman humor.
