We removed the winter tarp and frame. Reinstalled the lifelines and climbed the mast. It was the first time I had been to the top of the mast. I saw a device on YouTube (https://youtu.be/ycQm_ApCrUI) that looks like it would make climbing the mast a fairly easy process. I fabricated one from parts in my junk pile, but unfortunately the cam cleat I used did not work properly and I was not able to use it when climbing the mast.
