fair play for doing that in the wind and rain!

when chogging down, did you just attach the lumps to a taught line with a karabiner? i'll have to steal that idea!

Nice video.

We took a ecuy down today in strong winds not the best weather conditions for the species.

Like the karabiner around the guide rope technique to send the stem down on never seen it before, might try it out as it lets the ground do more work pulling the sections away from the climber. How do you tie the guide rope off on both ends as i imagen you need a very taught line.

it really depends on how much room you have to play with, if you want it not to move a inch you can tie off the sections with timber hitches and tension up the line, but with this one we had so much room it was just quicker to choke off the speedline round top and attach the section with a sling and karabiner and tension it up hand tight round the device and lock off.

Nice bit of vertical speedlining there jimmy, hope you used an old rope? did is sustain any heat abrasion?
