Bosun’s chair and a cable and pulley system I guess could be used but I would still want some kind of backup like a wheeled mechanism you can fasten around the pole that will travel up with you and serve as a fall arrest.

It is a 90ft steel monopole with no climbing provisions just smooth sides. They service the lights by contracting to a lighting company with a huge lift of some sort. For our use I'd really like to find a way to make it climbable to allow access on short notice if necessary. I have a plan in my head for a fabricated steel pole step with a chain wrap mount.
