Someone who climbs and repairs steeples and chimneys.
"'Well, Your Highness,' I said, 'for you it should be easy. You have known these animals all your life. You are bred for this; you are a pro. If there's anything I love to see, it's a guy who's good at his work. Whether it's a rigger or steeplejack or window-washer or any person who has strong nerves and a skilled body... You had me worried when you started that skull dance, but after a minute of it, I would have backed you to my last dime.'"
Saul Bellow, Henderson The Rain King (1958).
