Just the surface of this job, it's wicked fun and for me, it's one of those jobs that you wake up and want to work. I work under plumbing/ gas fitting and pipe fit/ steam, I do glass cleaning if there's downtime. I would highly recommend almost any trade adding this to their resume, something like woodworking might not have a use for this or more AWP or ground-required stuff, but heck an engineer and NDT work fine for Rope Access, You have SPRAT (Accepted in NA and AUS currently) IRATA ( Accepted globally) both very reputable. Using anything bigger than a 16" rubber for the first timer will be hard, I would have started her off with a 14-16 then a 22" the 28 is nice but way to big for the presenter skill level.
I'm a rope access level III and mad respect to this beautiful girl. She has more cojones that many guys that ask me for work, then they show up and be like. Ohh is that a 10 stories building?? Hell no i can't even do it.. I'll be like dude you know what i do WTF why are you asking for a job then be scared.. lol She's definitely wifey, hey Christina come holla at me ;) Big difference between Rope Access and window cleaners. We use more newer and sophisticated equipment and have better training. Shot out to all the people that work of ropes doing all kinds of trades all the way from HOUSTON,TX
IRATA level 1 here work mainly in oil and gas sectors and yea equipment is amazingly different, and I would say ours is ultimately better but different uses and also different countries(im uk) will have different standards
I climb 200' towers and work in confined spaces, under supplied air, in the dark, while operating a high pressure hose. I've saved up to get my IRATA certification.
She’s a tough girl. There are (many) men who are scared of that kind of height. I am not knocking those men, -as fear of heights is a very realistic fear that is not easily conquered . From military to cops.. some just can’t do it. I’ve repelled from 12 floors & I can tell you.. it’s intense. 40 stories.. no way in hell.
I wonder if you need a natural head for hights to do this long term or is it somthing you can gradually over come im terrified of hights but for that exact reason i find myself compelled to want to give it a go and challenge myself... Massive respect.
You can overcome and get used to anything. Culture shock is the same, at first it's unbearable but after a year or two becomes normal and then another year it's comfortable.
As a kid around 5 I would climb corn silos, I never had a real fear of heights. Still to step over a wall is not something you really get used to. You learn to trust your equipment. Once going down the wall you get comfortable and put it in the back of your mind. 31 years in this underpaid career now and it still sucks 1st drop of the day 😂
Mad skills bro respect. Have 10 years window cleaning experience. Was going to try to do the rappelling off buildings but the money is nowhere near the amount of risk that that I would be taking doing that. I've done repel work before but not cleaning windows used to install landscaping lights in trees as an electrician. Here in Dallas Texas to do that you're talkin about 15 to maybe $18hr for me to do something like that I'm going to be at least paid 60 to $80 an hour. I do Residential houses and make $37 an hour and in the process of starting my own one-man operation business for myself. Like I stated I would love to repel I'm an adrenaline junkie it's awesome to do something like that but like I said working for somebody else the money has to be way more than what it is.
$37 an hour you either need to raise your prices or get faster, or both. Somebody said these words to me 10 years ago when I was making about $30 per hour and it pissed me off at the time but they were right. Now I'm up to averaging $100 per hour, still a one man show. The money is out there, go get it man
Actually worked for years in Dallas as well (Plano area). I have a friend in that area who also has a WC business doing about $100 per hour (and sometimes even more on jobs when he uses wfp). Seems like the going rate down there is about $12-14 per window in and out. Just letting you know in a friendly way, you can make a lot more than what you're making.
...oh I just re read your post, sounds like you aren't working for yourself, I was assuming that you are. $37 an hour is actually fairly good for an employee
the fear It really just goes away to be honest. The subconscious fear of falling is still there, but you have trust in your equipment and it isn't as scary.
What's more scary, certain death or certain loss of quality of life? Visually, 30 stories is much worse than 5 stories, but in reality, it's less scary because death is certain at 30 stories. At 5 stories, there's a SLIGHT chance at survival, but most certainly, with the loss of the quality of life if you do somehow survive.
What's with the drama? 'in this business what could go wrong is everything'. Really? The amount of redundancy these. guys have in their systems, it's just very safe. Go rock climbing and see how that feels. Hanging just off one rope with unpredictable edges everywhere :))

Respect to this lady...... absolutely very courageous !
God damn. Much respect girl. Had anxiety the entire video

amazing work

That was a fantastic documentary! Christine is fierce!
Wow great video and congrats on the courage to go over the edge!!
Very professional. I did this for 35 years. I'm 69 and retired. I didn't get the masks though.

Certainly anyone could do it with the right mindset
Younger you are the easier it is

I started doing high rise when I was 3 now I’m 67. Age is just a number when it comes to windows 😂😂😂😂👌
Should have tried rope access window cleaning 😀
No kidding. chair must be nice lol

that girl deserves respect for doing a descent from a 30story building on her 2nd time out
First day of working tomorrow doing this
He died
Insane!
Awsome vid
I like that coiled rope edge pro.
There built different can u guys plz teach me I want to overcome my fear
Christina is warrior.
Do you have to have license for this job
Hey there, yes! I went through an 8 hour training course called "Working at Heights" in preparation! Thanks for asking :)
If you want a proper course than you should take IRATA or SPRAT,and it that takes 5 days
@@dnaccount7279 I can't believe some people are still using Bosun's chairs with how much rope access has evolved.
I know that guy... what's up shane
She took it like a champ 🗿
That’s pretty gnar getting in is the hardest part
All these are harnessed on unlike John Noakes of blue peter!
Am I the only one that thought of Mur when she was talking to Tyler?

Can’t believe they used all that old ass equipment 😂..

احب هذا المجال كثيرا كما اني عامل ومقاول في هذا المجال في بلدة المغرب واطمح ان اعمل في الدول الاوربية ومتقن العمل..
انت تعمل في هذا المجال؟
بنفس المعدات؟

hes right tho if u mess up u can die in a second dude...
Why does t.o still used busted ass equipment 😅
Love my job🫡🤙
She’s beautiful.. has more balls than me
All that concern about heights and safety, and then they have masks on??!?!! So funny!!
9:04 he's doing a demonstration and literally misses a huge spot.
As a window cleaner, I never miss a spot, but when I do, it’s always when I’m showing a newbie
Надеюсь до них дошло, насколько эти маски (намордники) были бесполезны🤦♂️
this method is so olddddd,,,,,
Ngl olé girl fine aslll
Such horrible technique. You can get into your chair before climbing over the wall. That’s super unsafe and doesn’t make any sense to do.
tf do you know? 🤡
jesus christ thats sketchy. leave this work to irata or sprat people lol:)
Atta girl
