Default TopClimber - Self Climbing Bosun Chair

Oh Good Grief..... Ascenders and use the halyard. then Repel down. Bosun's
chairs are for fat old guys like Bobsprit and Commode Joe.

I use a wrap of rubber inner tube around the ankles and climb the mast like
a Samoan on a Palm Tree.

You Americans are generally so fat, out of shape and with bad hearts that
you'd need a crane and oxygen gear to get your fat asses up that high.

It's no wonder the few healthy ones move into the mountains to avoid the
gelatinous mass of cellulite inhabiting the urban areas of the USA!

Never used one of these but climbed many thousands of feet on rope in
caves using a similar "Sit-Stand" system based on Prusik knots. To get
down, you reverse the process. You could make your own.
