carolyn Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Someone passed my name onto an advertising firm in downtown mpls. They are building a climbing wall in their office for a "partners" going away party. He is going to Nepal for six months. They want to hire me to basically keep them safe as they climb. They bought 800 bucks worth of gear (harnesses, helmets, ropes, climbing holds, biners, etc) and their contracter - whoever that is- will be building the wall next week. After looking over the site I am all over it as long as I get to make sure the anchors are secure and I personally have an area to run if the wall tips over . I asked the going guiding rate. After seeing WHO they are, I now wish I had asked for double. Since this is a disposable event, I will also be acquiring all the gear at the end of the party. As soon as I got on the elevator, I started laughing my ass off. What a great time this will be!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archenemy Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Be sure they are covered under insurance and that you have a Hold Harmless waiver (or whatever type of waiver/contract/agreement a lawyer suggests to you). It's not 100% protection; but something is better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolyn Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 yes, waivers will be signed. Ive spoken to a few people in my area who have done similar things. As long as I am not part of building the wall, I have no liability there. Its a 60 million dollar company. I think if anyone was going to sue someone for anything, the advertising firm would get it, since all I have to my name is my cat and a 1995 geo prizm.
