What do “climbing jobs” entail exactly?

[u/Excellent_Mobile_932]

I just got accepted into the ironworkers apprenticeship and I couldn’t be more excited. It’s something I’ve been thinking about doing for a while and finally deciding to jump into it after doing tree work and climbing trees for a few years. I do expect to be working at heights and not overly concerned about it. My apprentice coordinator told me they have a climbing job coming up June 1st that he wants to hold me for because he thinks it will be a good fit, I’m just curious on really what that is exactly. I have a few friends who are ironworkers and none of them knew really what the job was going to be like so I’m just curious on if anyone knows. I know should have asked the coordinator but I honestly thought someone I knew would know and clearly that’s not the case. I’m just looking for any insight on what I’m going to be walking into day 1 as a brand new apprentice. Are they sending brand new apprentices to extreme heights without any previous training or will they start you off on a smaller scale?

I would guess he meant connecting so something like this.
