- 1942 RIGGER. "The Rigger" is the high or head rigger or high climber, all terms for one and the same job. He has a crew consisting of a second rigger, several "extra riggers" and his engineer. He and his second rigger do the spectacular job of climbing and topping the spar trees and, in the case of a skidder, the back trees. What is a good deal more important, they are responsible for the proper rigging of a tree, its support with guy lines, the way the blocks are set and how the lines run out in the woods.
- 1963 There's where you'll hear the mainline hum
Through the bull-block, hanging high,
As the friction locks on the big main drum
And the rigger hollers, "Hi."
