Nothing like a main halyard around a snatch block or turning block at the deck and an electric windlass .
Also, I always use a main halyard as any breakage at the masthead pulley will not drop me to the deck.

I think they (ATN) sell pre-stretched line for that purpose. Also, you really have to lay back horizontal to get enough leg travel, it feels weird to do that, but watch the video of him again . . . Then again, I had one of my young crew use it to go up a couple weeks ago, he gave up and we cranked him up. I had already had a few beers, so I was not going.

ATN Mast Climber ATN Mastclimber: Embarrassing: I bought one, tried going up 20 ft no problem, but had trouble getting down. My son, 20 year old, had trouble getting down too. We opted to use the old bosun chair using two halyards. No problems. I know we are doing something wrong with the ATN, but couldn't figure it out. Any tips?
