Yes it was all done on a lowering device. I do still use natural forks in the tree and do wraps around the tree but it depends on weight of stuff being lowered, how much lowering ect.

The capstan makes it very easy to control the lowering and very quick to resend the line back up to the climber.

sounds good, spent ages before flicking the rope back when fork is far from the climber. might look into them. top job again, lowering bits like that with all those fruiting bodies is always fun. well done to your team.

Can't believe you Riggs that down with a capstan, you should get a stein block RC 500, make the job even easier:) good work though. Big butts are great fun:)
