I have been encouraged to author a comprehensive guidebook to the many bouldering spots in NB. I am willing to do this, but only if I can get a keen and competent assistant for this undertaking. Apply via PM by Thursday May 23. Failure to find a suitable assistant will result in the postponement of the project for at least one year.

-Wire Brushes, Broom, Crowbar, Pruning Shears, Saw, Protective Eye wear, Dust Mask, Work Gloves, Flagging Tape, Camera
-Recommended equipment includes: Harness, Rope, Belay device, Ascender/Gri Gri/Prussik, Handheld GPS, Shovel, Axe

Required attributes:
-Eagerness perform dirty and hard labour alone in the woods for hours on end, even when it's hot and buggy
-Ability to take initiative
-Willingness to learn
-Attention to detail
-Persistence
-Problem solving skills
-Effective communicator, especially in writing
-Inquisitive/Exploratory

Preferred experience and skills:

Compensation:

Benefits:
-Chance to claim dozens of first ascents, and come up with names for some others whose names have been forgotten.
-Lots of time in the great outdoors
-A private guided tour of an assortment of bouldering locations, many of which have not seen traffic in the past 10 years
-Some (albeit limited) praise from the bouldering community, and climbers in general
