Re: Stus-List Climbing the mast

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

Re: Stus-List Climbing the mast

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. Here
