I have the Mast Climber. Works as advertized. Was fun actually. The condition of your halyard is what I'd pay attention to. An old, moldy, hard crusty halyard... would be asking for trouble. I like Jim's idea of having someone (even the wife could do it) take up the slack on a second halyard tied to the sling, as a "just in case". I weigh 172 lbs.
