I've been using an ATN mast climber for a number of years. It's a bit
awkward, but okay once you figure it out. For a bigger project like you
describe, you may want to either hire a professional or arrange for a crane
with a basket that you can stand in.
If you go with an ATN mast climber, be careful with painted masts as the ATN
fittings will scratch through the paint.

Subject: Stus-List Climbing the mast solo
Hi All,
I need to replace the radar dome on my mizzenmast this weekend. It's about
22' up. I'm in solid shape and can climb without a problem. However, I
have never climbed a mast before, and I have to do this work alone. I'm
curious if anyone here has suggestions for doing this safely. Is it
possible, or should I call in a professional?
I'll be down on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake, so I'm sure I could
find someone, but I'd rather learn to do this myself and I'd rather spend $$
on mast climbing equipment than on a pro. I'm sure this won't be the last
time I have to do this.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks so much.
Ryan
