Default Ascender/Descender instead of bosun's chair

I like the idea having the harness or bosun's chair attached to a
primary winch serving as a method of descent. Attaching the bosun's
chair to one ascender and a loop for the feet to the other ascender
seems like a great idea for a lazy, middle-aged man like me! I'll
give these methods a try.


Screw that! The Bosun's Chair needs to be attached to the powered anchor
windlass for us "lazy, middle-aged man like me"! I press this button, he
goes up. I press this button he comes down.

I suppose I could mark one "Ascender" and the other "Decender", saving
several thousand dollars on custom mountain climbing equipment in the
process....(c;

It can even lift my heavy ass, right to the top, without a sweat!

maximum inconvenience and block traffic movement, entirely?
