A climber, when going to the top needs two safety harnesses becasue when you get to the spreaders with just the work belt I purchased from you, it is necessary to unhook it to get it over the spreaders, so I bring a second harness and hook it up over the spreaders prior to moving the work belt. All in all a great product that saves me much money and makes me more independent. Although it is recommended to use a safety harness with a backup halyard when you climb, the Mast Mate Workbelt is not intended for this purpose. It's tether is only to be deployed when you have reached your work position. Gary, Thanks for the email.
Mast mate works fine.
It's a little harry for a big ole guy like me to be that high up. Regards, Stan Gary, I have used my Mast Mate twice since purchasing it two months ago. It has worked perfectly. It is great to be able to go up my mast any time I want without a lot of pre-planning or searching the marina for a couple of guys strong enough to haul my 225 lbs up in the boson's chair. Also I find it much easier to work from the stable stance of the ladder versus the chair.
