Attach a separate sling to your harness and loop it round the mast otherwise you'll be swinging all over the place at sea. also when you reach the top you can use it to attach to the mast as security back up.

I have usually been the largest member of a crew. Great excuse to man a winch and not go up the mast. I have very rarely sailed solo and only for very short sails and have never had to go up the mast, fortunately.

Good vid – one of the better on the topics – but two comments that I think are important: firstly, she mentions it but dos not stress that you must use a second line as a safety line. Ascending on a single line as shown is very dangerous, running a prusik on a second halyard as safety makes it pretty safe. Secondly, I think the way she feeds the downline from the grigri up through the carib in order to gain purchase is quite dodgy: the grigri depends on some downward pressure to be assured it will lock; raising it like this is against the manufacturers advice and might risk a rapid descent.

Ow here we go again. Sailors using climbing gear that is not designed to use this way. And for a very good reason! !!! Since this is shown as a 'how to video', I really urge you to remove it. So much is wrong or poorly explained or implemented and is dangerous. Simply said if you don't understand the physics involved or climbing safety don't use this video!!
To name a few: A grigri is a half automatic belay device for a belayer that belays a climber that uses the rope only if he falls and not to climb with it. Therefore the belayers has to give out or to take in rope fast. Therefor the grigri has a 4kg force springloaded cam inside that stays open. Only when load is applied and there is enough friction on the other end of the rope the cam activates and pinches the rope. When you stand in the footloop, the cam releases. But also if you would stand for a rest on the spreaders. If you then hang back, expecting the grigri to grab, you might be in for a big surprise and drop 30cm to 3 meters surprise, Also way on to, pushing you up into the footloop to get above the masthead, the grigricam releases. This is why, rope acces climbers don't use sportclimbers grigri's but a ID's or Rig's (Sirius, sparrow etc) which can be locked off. And latest models have auto lock. They always climb with 1 climbing and one safetyline. Lines that are certified to climb on, have specific diameters to work smoothly in the gear used. And would't want the theeth and load on an ascender in my dyneema halyards. Dyneema that is static, and when taking a drop it is doubtful the prussic you show will hold. But for certain, with that length on a static line the shock load will be around 5 kN or 500kg. In which the heat in the knot will burn into you precious line. You're stuck, and then what? Next, use a pulley in the to ascender carabiner. Next you don't loosen and attach carabiners. the chance you drop then on to what or who? With the right method and gear like a rollclip all is kept together. Well to end positive. You did one thing very nice and good! you tied up your hair and no lose shirt. And not being one of many that get halfway stuck screaming.

Can’t understand what she is saying.

I’ve been climbing mast solo for decade or two.
I would advise a bosun chair and climbing harness on two separate lines. If you get caught up must alone on climbing harness alone, you will get blood circulation cut off and maybe gangrene. It has happened many times.
Also, a safety line independent to the main halyard and a Prussik knot.
There are better and smaller ascenders that allow access to masthead than the one demonstrated.
Descent on gri gri using single line could easily end up in a permanent wheelchair.
Use a friction descender instead without moving parts. That way you cannot panic grip the descender open and crash to deck.
Practice many times and use utmost care.
