What a contract climber charges, and what a day actually covers

Most contract climbing is priced by the day, not the tree. A flat day rate keeps the math simple for the company hiring: you know the number before the climber leaves the ground. Here is what a day covers and when a one-off piece is quoted per-job.

• What one day covers, and when it runs two

• Per-job pricing for a single technical piece

• What is not included: ground, haul, and cleanup
