Edd I have the ATN version of the mast climber and find it works fine. A taut line to climb on is important. I find coming down is actually harder than going up- you are tempted to take too big a step. Had the MastMate web ladder on the last boat and it works but I found the steps uncomfortably far apart (I have short legs-though they do reach the ground.....) and the webbing tended cut into my ankles. Found that both get you high enough to work on the masthead as needed. Like others I do prefer to just grind the wife/daughter up in a chair. They both think it is neat but both are tool challenged so once at the top they are only good for pretty pictures.
