I get the feeling that you didn't read the original post.

I did. I interpreted the parent as saying he was interested in doing technical rope stuff, which was a reasonable interpretation, given the content of the article. I don't think most penetration testing guys have those skills, which is why I discussed fields where you can acquire/use them. Any clearer?

I think your interpretation is flawed; I thought you were trolling to be honest.(or are you still?)

If you're describing your dream-job as 'repelling off of buildings' why would you mention your pen-testing experience?
