Here's a couple of links to spring off of for ascender climbing. The foot ascenders look promissing.
A waste strap/line can also be passed around the mast and both ends attached to the harness (one end on a carabiner for fast passing of obstructions). This is added safety to prevent accidentally twisting upside down and you slipping out of the harness or chair. This is one reason I prefer a harness. https://www.google.com/search?q=ascender+climbing&oq=ascender http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascender_(climbing) http://youtube.com/watch?v=2LK20hvHQyA http://www.rockandice.com/lates-news/ascender-safety-101 Josh On Oct 16, 2014 7:58 PM, "Edd Schillay via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Listers, > > Now that the Enterprise is up for the winter, I'm starting my list of > projects -- One of which is some mast work. > > Has anyone on the list ever rigged their own mast self-climber, and, if > so, what did you use. > > There's an article about it in the latest issue of Practical Sailor, so > it's on my mind. > > And no, the transporter can't materialize me at the top of the mast. > > > All the best, > > Edd > > > Edd M.
