Well I have been itch to tell you about a new job offer I got last month, but didn’t want to jinks the deal so kept quiet on the subject. The story goes about a month ago I was approached by a representative of an american company who want to employ me as a Instructor. As the detail unfolded this job offer just got more and more bizarre to be honest. It got to be an almost dream job if I am honest.
It turns out that they not only wanted me to work on a course teaching american climbing instructors but head up the course, and help implement a new syllabus. So new the governing body is still signing off the final section syllabus for the company I am employed by to deliver.
It all was waiting on the company director coming back from the field to OK the decision to employ me. He got back on Sunday, and we finally caught up on Thursday Night over the phone, and the final OK given. The company sounds as excited as me.
The job gets even better though, as whilst the company is american, they deliver there rock climbing courses in the Chilean Patagonia. So I now have a very busy few months lined up. With a trip to climb the Nose in September before a few days at home before jetting off to Chile to recce the climbing sites for a couple of weeks. I have already been exploring the area via google earth.
As for Life in the vertical. I hope to update this site as regularly as possible, as the centre is hoping to have a satellite internet connection, if not it will be weekly trips to the closest inter-web cafe in the town. I am hoping the summer in chile isn’t as bad as the welsh one I am currently in, as the weather has been atrocious for the last two months.
I now need to get a span-glish phrase book.
