Did you look at the web site? Play the video? It is a boson's chair to sit
in when you get up where you want to be. Stand in the stirups, push the
chair attachment up the rope, sit in the chair, push the stirups up, stand
up, push the chair up. Do that until you get to the point you want to
work. Sit in the chair to work unless you need to work over the masthead,
then stand in the stirups.

I'm also aware of similar methods of ascent in climbing gear, very highly
recommeded by climbers who are also sailors. I've not yet decided how I
want to get up - but I was thinking in terms of what to wear when I got
there.

This is the sort of thing I had in mind:
