No idea to be honest. A term I have used for as long as I can remember for a clean stem. My brain does have a unique way of describing the world sometimes

you could always have an adjustable ring set-up; 4th item down

here's the setup in action. Works very nicely and frictionless! It's also retrievable from the ground!

No they are not, credit for the splices and the ring in that goes to jamie, he helped me out on that half, made it a lot easier

 

im thinking about a shorter prussik loop, but would have to be something thats sewn rather than tied to keep bulk down, but this one works for now.

 

some proper way round images, and one hung up in the workshop. it all works pretty well together, the oscillante pulley is small enough so the rope wont jam in it but is enough to allow a good force to pull it down with.

Whats the wee pulley for?

 

Does your cocoon go through the ring ok?

The small pullley is a guide and also there for retrieval purposes. The ring is a perfect size for the cocoon. It will cone through fine. Sometimes it needs a wiggle. But it's easy enough.
