Climbing the mast
Have used Top Climber several times this past season to reach the top of the mast. I use the spinaker halyard as a safety and attach the Top Climber static line to the main halyard. I can get my shoulders above the masthead but find that the backstay, topping lift, head stay, and shrouds (that all convene near the top of the mast) make it difficult to ascend all the way to the top. Takes a little maneuvering but no doubt adds to the workout.
