Nope.
You have a modified Top Climber ? as I recall...
Completely my own creation. No Top Climber components used. Same idea,
but using better components and several design improvements.

No offense intended, but i can't imagine actually trying to use that.

A bosun's chair on a rope is one thing. Your hands are (more or less)
free to do something.

But climbing up what amounts to a rope ladder and trying to do anything
beyond snapping pictures is way beyond me.

Professional steeple jacks sometimes use a similar rig with a small
bosuns chair that goes up with them. I talked with one of them once
(on the ground) and he was a rock climber in his spare time.

Would he like to crew?
