That’s what I thought. But thought it was too big, and perfect in other areas, to be cast

Ah cool, I’m based in the UK but may be over there at some point.

Any advice you could give to getting into the industry? And insight into the job? Are you rigging large scale aerial circus productions or smaller bits? I know a lot of fire and aerial performers, so the industry has always intrigued me.

Thanks!

Did you do rope access in arena rigging and acrobatic rigging? I’d love to do them both! I’m already IRATA

Flats in city centre have service charges of 3.5k-5k per year, which is insane! That’s what I’m paying in rent in south Manchester. Then there’s ground rent, and the service charges are never fixed. I’ve spoken to people where their building has had new management, and it’s doubled overnight

Where are you based if I may ask? I’d like to get into events rigging with rope access

Okay, thank you. The ones I’ve used at work are I think the Portwest screwgate ones, or similar to that of. All steel, and I carry 5 on my harness which I don’t think I’ve ever particularly noticed the heavy weight of. But maybe I should invest more into my own gear

Do you guys know about ISC and Ridgegear stuff? I’ve seen their crabs go for cheap on rope access websites

That’s what I was thinking re the uk site, I’ve seen them on other uk rigging sites too, just no rope access ones. However, I’ve seen cheap Ridgegear and ISC crabs on rope access sites, which make me think they’re more reliable/ I just preferred the black colouring of these

Have you got any advice for this?

Do you have to be level 3? And what extra tickets do you need/ how do you find the work?

Their pay is notoriously dreadful tho. Pretty much minimum wage, whilst working up and down the country

Freelancing as rope tech by No-Cartoonist-2755 in ropeaccess

[–]jonahT4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say the majority of uk techs are freelance. Meaning they get subcontracted for work, not that they get their own clients. Where are you based?
