Especially, given that in time of need I'd likely be flailing about.

I don't want that gig. And, what a long slog of a climb up there. Seems like it would take over an hour each way.
Another job I've seen that they can keep is coffee pickers.
I've seen them working a few times in Colombia.
Count me out!
