If the hat fits!

Forgot a lowering device of any sort a while back, so used an adjoining stump to help (with a modification)

I remember you posting that either at the time, or during the previous reminisc. Very System D.

 

If only they made holly stumps that big, eh?

With that rope it worked really well.

Watch at your own risk, old timer. Don't want you suffering an aneurysm this close to retirement.

Not complex, I mean shock load on gear.

Gotcha. Worst case force multiplication factor is 11x the load.

 

That's in the case of Rigging Point Below or "Negative rigging"
