My rig is back up and I was all set to go aloft today but about half-way up I got blisters. I guess my cushy desk job didn't harden my hands enough to draw myself up. Thinking I'll need more purchase or to still have someone else put the other end on a winch... Aside from it wearing out the skin on my hands I felt very safe and the lift wasn't incredibly heavy (I weigh 200lbs). I have a fair amount of rock climbing experience so swinging around on a rope doesn't bother me at all.
I'm very very close to a working solution but I'm not there yet...
