Pole-climbing electricians compete for bragging rights, share job

The 18th Annual Pacific Northwest Lineman's Rodeo Saturday drew more than 60 competitors and their families from Oregon, Washington and Arizona. Although the event is primarily a competition for utility workers and a fundraiser for Portland's Oregon Burn Center, it's also become an opportunity for families and friends to see what linemen -- pole-climbing electrical workers -- do every day.
