Ultimate Mast Climbing Photos

This is where everything goes

The photos below show the complete mast-climbing setup, laid out to highlight how the pieces relate to each other.

This photo shows all the components and their relative positions. The yellow webbing is part of my bosun's chair. The black and gray webbing is the Tour Harness. The red tubular webbing forms the foot loops.

This close-up shows the gear attaching to the bosun's chair (left) and the prusik on the backup line, shown here in rappel mode.

In this photo, all the gear is ready to go into my storage bag. All the hookups are in place, making it easy to set up next time without having to remember where everything goes.

The backup gear is attached to the Tour harness ready to be put away.

I clip a second RollnLock to a carabiner. It is very useful as a progress capture when I haul gear up. The Tibloc is there just in case, but I have never used it.
