I replaced some temporary carabiners with a block on top of the mast through which a back-up halyard runs. The halyard is a static climbing rope that I also use to climb the mast., At one point as I replaced the hardware I was clipped into the top of the mast and without a rope to descend the mast. You can be sure that I was extra careful not to drop the rope, especially as it is Friday the 13th.
