Okay so how do you shimmy up that mast - looks like its carbon or alloy - no crows nest to take a breather then?

Ellen MacArthur had to do the same remember? There's lots of ways to do it well.  ;D https://www.yachtingmonthly.com/gear/7-mast-climbing-methods-and-gear-on-test-84008#:~:text=The%20conventional%20mast%20climbing%20method,a%20halyard%20and%20a%20winch.  Have you seen my celebrity snap of her boarding the Cutty Sark?  ;D

That is quite a view! I have absolutely no knowledge regarding sailing! Why would it be necessary to climb to the top of a mast in this day and age. I thought it would all be push button control on a modern yacht?😳😳

Well how about if you let go of a halyard and the weight of the rope on the other side of the pulley pulled it to the top of the mast for instance.
Lots of string up there and some instrument sensors, wind speed, direction, lights etc lots of things to go wrong.
