My version of this is to use two ascenders on a tight line, one with two
foot loops attached, and the other attached to a bosun's chair. I also
have a halyard attached directly to the bosun's chair. While my wife
keeps tension on the halyard, I alternately step up using one hand and
two feet, then slide the other ascender w/chair up, and then back to the
foot loops, and repeat. That way I do most of the climbing work but
have the comfort of the chair, with the safety of the second halyard.

can get up my 37/40 fairly quickly, reach the spreader tips, and stand
in the loops to do work on equipment at the top.
