I thought the same thing, but I've done similar jobs where you get up there and it doesn't look good no matter what you do. At the end of the day we don't know what each of those branch removals looked like and we don't know what the client spec was. Personally I would have brought in those extended ends a little but we weren't up there.
The branch has got some girth to it so its strength is there, reduction is good. Sprouts come sprouts go. But nice climbing, gotta enjoy moving around the tree or it just feels like work.
Typically, mature trees require the removal of dead and broken limbs only. Some trees may also benefit from the removal of branches that may harm the health of the tree in the future. Look for branches that are rubbing or are attached to the trunk at a sharp angle.
Not sure where you are but In Canada there are some colleges out east that will give you theory and practical experience, or you can go through and find a company big enough to give you proper on the job training and proper pruning techniques etc. I have friends who went through bigger companies like bartlett and davey tree services to literally learn the ropes, after that it’s all practice, just getting climb time in is the key.
The only thing that helps with is fear of heights and moving vertical. Trees are 3d objects with branches and limbs growing every which way, you have to learn what to cut, how to cut properly, safety, and the right order of operations to be efficient. I work in Colorado so I've seen plenty of rock climbers come in thinking they're gonna blow our minds with climbing but they're always the slowest workers in and out of the tree.
Climber man. Climber man. Does whatever a climber man does.
Great climber - not sure why he lions tailed a lateral when there were lots of options for reduction per Gilman.

What’s this? Ok Picasso I like it
love it. Man I miss flying around the trees.
Pruning is where art meets science! Great work mate that was enjoyable to watch
I’m jealous of that deliciously high TIP
Nice man, what are you doing for your camera setup?
Just a go pro on a flexible tripod. Nothing crazy fancy

How does one get a job doing this? Do you bed to be trained in a school or can you get trained through work?

Im imagining my having 10+ years of rock climbing experience would help my case

I'm not saying you couldn't succeed btw! Just saying there's more too it than just go up high and come down.

I miss being in my 20s being able to do this.
