No, with a single spreader mast, it is a simple task (because you can connect the hook to a loop that slides up and down the mast). The difficulty with a double spreader mast is that the centre of gravity for the mast is somewhere half way between the spreaders, so that the loop would have to be attached (or detached) using a ladder.
