I pull my ropeguide out without lowering. Count how many times it even touches the ground... Not many. Unless your retrieving off a pole for a fell don't worry about it.

I hard retrieve my pulley saver I prefer the steel ART link pulley for this not the cocoon. Although I do now have a cocoon.... Steel link is more robust though and cheap enough I replaced mine approximately every 2-3 years.

 

Oh and get a hitch climber and a knot or dare I say it a Rrrr Rrrrr Ropewench, more versatile than a Spiderjack, although the SJ is nice to.

Is there any point in a ropeguide or pulley saver with a ropewrench?

 

I have an sj and ropeguide with tachyon and it's great, wish I'd used it years ago. As mentioned before, if you're working over hard surfaces it's well worth lowering it down with a double snapper, if over grass I tend to just pull it out. Be warned though, I've had the double snapper get caught a few times and had to go up and retrieve it.:thumbdown:
