We used a pretty basic setup. Rig normally, tighten speedline with 4:1 redirected on a pole. Pull up the piece and let it run. Saved tons of shifting on a steep slope but took a while to get setup and tweak the system.

 

Nice vid Pete, never seen that before. Faster than normal rigging and less forces on your kit?
