You can also consider a counterweight of half of that (or, generally, any size). If you lift 50 lb, you would be 50 lb lighter.
Though, I still believe that it is much easier to climb yourself.

My 190# weight could be balanced by four 5 gallon jugs of water or gasoline of diesel, so it's doable with items on hand, but the amount of prep is a little complicated. I'll try and think through all the hurdles and describe what I think might work in a future email.

I would do the same and use a corded drill alongside. Adam Sent from my Bell Samsung device over Canada’s largest network. - Stu
