Retrieving gear with throwlines

[Dak]

The prob with that method when using a soft eye pulley saver is the potential for the throwline to cut into the soft eye.

 

One easy method is to drape the tail of your rope over a branch halfway down when you are leaving the tree and using a small biner attach the tail to the prussik side of your line (above the prussik). When you retieve the pulley saver it will be caught by the tail of the rope and can be lowered out.

 

Otherwise you can throw a throwline in after you are on the ground and clip the throwbag to the prussik side of the rope again and pull it up the rope. Same result as the other method.

 

Hope these make sense. Good luck.

 

Ye I use both methods there bro, I use the latter 90% of the time.

 

An yes your very right about the throwline cutting the soft eye!

 

I guess I'm gonna stick with the throwline from the ground.

 

Cheers for the ideas folks
