Mine are aluminum angle, 1.5x1.5 inches at least so your foot has a good
purchase. In the center on one face you drill holes for a muffler clamp that
will fit your mast. You climb on the other face. Over many years of
climbing, one clamp has been more than enough (2" or larger mast).

K7LXC, in response to djl, wrote, in part:

"If you need to get at the top antenna you can either climb the mast with
temporary steps or lower the mast."

I'm curious, what is the nature of these temporary steps; i.e., how are they
made?  Bolts through holes in your mast, perhaps?

TIA & 73,
