Retrievable rigging line?

[karl1991]

Has anyone got any ideas of a simple way to make a retrievable rigging line by myself? Lads normally flick to me or clip onto my line after disconnecting from the piece but if I'm quite a ways out of line not long enough it's a struggle? Sure this must be simple?

This has come up before.

I think the most inventive solution was a guy who rigged up a system with a ring around the rigging line connected to a retrievable dog leash.

So it ran smoothly along the rigging line whilst in use then he could snap the button and it would come back to his hand when needed.

Then press the button again and the leash would lose tension and the line would go back to its "natural" position.

Sounds simple enough if abit daft but if it works!

I'd never have it clipped to me!

Zip line everything, lowering is prehistoric imho!

You could attach it using a small zip tie that would snap under pressure.

Zip tie versus hips, not for me.

Not saying it's not a good idea and it wouldn't work just not for me.

Hence why I zip line now, it's so easy

I'm just throwing it out there.

 

I'd never use it either.

Length of rope and a floating pulley long enough so it sits slack at the rigging block, timber hitch the rope to the section you are on run the rigging line through the floating pulley after its through the block, cut and rig the section down, get the guys on the ground to put a stopper knot on the rigging line and pull it up it stops at the pulley and it all goes up to the block, pull the line to your position and you have the rigging line.

Hope that makes sense, I've used it a few times to rig out long laterals but need the anchor point quite far away.

for a quick retrieve of the rigging line I get the groundy to clip the crab around my climbing line and hold my line taught. They pull the rigging line and up it comes to you.

 

is that what you mean?

Ha ha, stupidly brilliant!
