Hi david. Tied off at the pushpit, pulpit and threaded through the ring of a shroud cleat. So they ran about waist height, which makes clipping in and running the carabiner ahead or behind you a breeze. Also great if you have more than one person going up on deck. We'd take them down when making landfall. Always felt safe, no clutter on the deck. I have pics i can email directly if you like. Bettina
