I'm neither.
I've been involved in both my whole life... but that doesn't make me a climber or a faller. Yet.
groundie category for me maybe.

If there was better money in Logging I'd be content to chop in the woods my whole career ... I have grown to LOVE the climb/rig/remove....

I loved logging, born a generation late. It's a forked up industry up here now.

I think pretty much everywhere in US and Canada.
Logging anecdote from the memory banks: When I was logging for Future Logging in Springfield, OR, when we would leave for the woods on Monday AM, we would get up at 2 freakin AM to get to the shop and into the crummys (pick ups) and drive to the woods so we could be in the brush working by the time there was enough light to see. Tues-Thurs we would stay in cabins (not logging camps or anything) closer to the work, only hadda get up at 4:30 those mornings.

i picked climber, i do residential logging, but i employ fallers to do the big bottom cuts, i feel comfy up to 3ft dia, and sometimes a fuzz bigger
i can send it where i want in the tree, but its a different game on the ground, i feel slightly out of place on the ground, my guys are all older fallers and dont want to climb anymore so i climb for them.
i looked at 44 redwoods for removal today the biggest is close to 5 ft on the stump all regrowths, about 2 wks work, we'll do it all from cuttin to truckin,
i love to climb, i love to do big take downs, .. i guess im just a tree guy

I picked climber even though I am pretty much a newbie at it professionally. I have been felling trees longer, but I can't say I am a logger. I do mostly brushing, and that's ground work for the most part. Shat, I was working that saw like a machette today ... LOL Tangled nasty mess that was!
Awesome, did you get the job?

I didn't vote 'cause I guess I'm a jack of all trades master of none.
Worked as a climber for several years back in the 80's (dang I'm gettin old!) Did my fair share of land clearing. No 'real' logging here in NEPA just mostly pulp wood. Did a climbing removal of a Maple last Sat. But I just love tree work.
But for my real money I'm a machinist and welder.
......and besides there's no where to pick hack

True that. But...I can remember my great grandfather, grandfather, and dad all saying the same thing. It just goes with the territory. It's what we do. It's who we are.

It's worse now. Big machines and big business have ruined logging. Felller bunchers are the scurge of the bush imo. Big payments to big banks and big equipment manufacturers so mills can get more wood for less money.

I'm a climber no doubt. I guess i like being closer to home also. I think there's work (seasonal at best) if you don't mind travelling all over the province and living out of a suitcase.
