Mad respect to this girl for being able to do this
Very impressed with Christina. Not a lot of people could stomach that!
Fo real
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
Hollaaaa! Thank you very much - I am already a wifey haha - but thanks for this kind comment!
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
Very professional. I did this for 35 years. I'm 69 and retired. I didn't get the masks though.
Respect to this lady...... absolutely very courageous !
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.
Christina is warrior.
That was a fantastic documentary! Christine is fierce!
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.
Insane!
Can’t believe they used all that old ass equipment 😂..
hotel x - 351 m tall
legal max height to perform bosun chair work in Ontario - 300 m
Wow great video and congrats on the courage to go over the edge!!
Should have tried rope access window cleaning 😀
No kidding. chair must be nice lol
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
@@coyotefeather4896 you work for yourself?
@@ryanrios3435 yessir
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
First day of working tomorrow doing this
Hows it going
He died
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.
Certainly anyone could do it with the right mindset
Younger you are the easier it is
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 😂
I started doing high rise when I was 3 now I’m 67. Age is just a number when it comes to windows 😂😂😂😂👌
I know that guy... what's up shane
I like that coiled rope edge pro.
Awsome vid
That’s pretty gnar getting in is the hardest part
There built different can u guys plz teach me I want to overcome my fear
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.
All these are harnessed on unlike John Noakes of blue peter!
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 does it pay
Love my job🫡🤙
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.
Am I the only one that thought of Mur when she was talking to Tyler?
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؟
Atta girl
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 :))
hes right tho if u mess up u can die in a second dude...
Why does t.o still used busted ass equipment 😅
Ngl olé girl fine aslll
She’s beautiful.. has more balls than me
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
All that concern about heights and safety, and then they have masks on??!?!! So funny!!
Надеюсь до них дошло, насколько эти маски (намордники) были бесполезны🤦♂️
Those masks are silly
this method is so olddddd,,,,,
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:)
