Hi Dave
I've got the ATN set, and use it with a climbing harness. I find it is
excellent for going up the mast but painfully slow getting down, so I use a
hybrid approach. I attach a line to my harness (tied, not clipped), which is
used as a safety line on the way up. Once I'm done up there
r otherwise cover (I use a

Hi David,
I had my Girlfriend winch me up on a halyard using a bosun's chair, but I
also wore a climbing harness with an ascender on a second halyard purchased
from MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-Op). The ascender will slide up a line, but
will not slide back down unless you hit a trigger switch.

I use a block and tackle system, hauled up by the main halyard. I can haul
myself up from that in a bosun’s seat. The lower block has a jam cleat so I am
able to lock myself in and free my hands. Doing this alone is not the best
idea, much better (safer) to have someone below on a winch,
Ryan — many on the list prefer a standard climbing harness and ascenders for
this type of job. I personally prefer to sit while working for long periods of
time, so I use the ATN TopClimber (now called the “MastClimber”):

, be careful with painted masts as the ATN
fittings will scratch through the paint.
