Marijon, You don't say where you are located -- but if you were in my area, I would say that a major pruning of this rose is not needed at this time.
In my Southern CA area, a 2-year-old climber of this type is still immature.
Can you say where you are located?

Thank you for your replies........... have been diverted with other life issues. I am in San Rafael, in Marin County just north of San Francisco.

Thank you again for any and all sage advice.

As long as that very thick cane is still producing blooms, leave it be. You don't just prune thick canes on a climber unless there is a good reason, bare bottom, not producing flowers, dieback, canker, etc.
As stated, a two year old climber is not mature yet.
