False anchor

[Bermy]

Put a prussik on the cambium saver, slide it back towards the small ring side to choke the stem. Put a carabiner in the prussik to take the place of the large ring. Pass your climb line through as per normal, and you can descend double rope without the hassle of adding a fig 8.

 

Just test whatever knot in the end of your climb line WILL pass through the Biner and still jam in the small ring to effect a retrieval...before you commit!

Use a ladder as a stretcher to carry the gear to the job, as a quick access up and down the tree and stretcher gear back to the truck. Job done and if no one sees you then you've not lost your street cred by using ladders:laugh1: Ladders=time saving.

How about a pulleysaver of some sort? They choke off on a stem and retrieve nicely.
