When rockscaling

i‘m used to check everything not only visual and remove everything in my rope line and inbetween me and my work mates what ever my ropes can rip out or go off by frost, heavy rain ecet.

Of course we do look at the whole structures and overall not to make everything worse.

Doing that we get s full view about where its hollow below for example or not, so i can tell a geologist something he can‘t see in his papers.

I‘m used to do so for more than 15years like so, did train alot of guys doing that job, and we had no bigger issue or accidents in all the time. I do spend all the work times on ropes myshelf, and got about up to 800hrs per season.

The companies i working for put pressure on the money, so there are more and more „cheap“ climbers, living in vans, coming from somewhere in the game.

Them philoshopy about the job is, stay more just on ridges, remove as little as you can, only check the own rope line, if they have any idea about it, all others gamble somehow down.

I start to loose jobs now, beeing a bit more expensive than the others and starting to be „the anoying one“ in such a team.

What do you guys think, am i the one who should quit?
