Never seen a chimney being scaffolded from the bottom, you ladder the chimney and erect a flying scaffold near the top, I've attached a picture showing how the first part of the scaffold is attached to the chimney.
When your up there, one thing you never do is step back to admire your work.

Retlaw.
