Are you suggesting that as a harness, or a climbing method?

I think I'm aware of that - but I'm talking about something worn to allow
you sitting comfort while up, without the ability to upend yourself
accidentally, not something to ascend a wire-tight line.

Thanks.

Well, up the mast, anyway!

This has probably been covered to death, but I think I recall discussions
in this space before about improvements on the typical bosun chair to the
effect of good mountain climbing gear.

Looking at climbing harnesses on REI, a frequently mentioned retailer of
such stuff, the harnesses I see don't look the least bit like I'd have
expected.

Are there any here with experience in this sort of gear? What should we
look for for up-the-mast use (in place of the bosun chair, of which I
have a fine one, but this is supposed to be far superior in comfort and
safety)?

Thanks.
