Angular Definition and 999 Threads

Say there is a man swinging in space on a rope attached to a pivot. The man is rotating at some constant angular speed w. Now he climbs up the rope at some constant speed v. Apparently the angular momentum is conserved. As a result his speed increases. However, how does his speed increase if...
