GFA Instructors Handbook.:

climb,

the tug

In that case, when I take off as P1, I am always intending to be in a high
tow position but appear to always change my mind when I feel that I am at a
safe height to return safely to the field when I decide to go into the low
tow position! :)

PS: long tow ropes are good; just a bugger to handle on the ground.
