Imagine climbing the yards on the Libertad in a storm, swinging 10 or more meters left and right.. and the last feet close to the first nest you have to climb with the shrouds going outward

Yes, great video.
I’m scared to death of heights compounded by trust issues with anyone who was controlling the end of the rope hoisting me up to the top. Didn’t take long that I discovered what a ratchet block was and rigged a self raise & lower bosun chair. It was work getting up there but it helped with the anxiety.
