Very nice, lucky to have that ‘scaffold’ tree or it would have needed another approach.

Not complex, I mean shock load on gear.

you could still fit a sling of some sort as a fail safe underneath. Rigging has levels. level 1 is using the end of your own rope to drift an end down. Level 10 is a heavy negative rigging with big rope and a strapped on Bollard and rings/pulleys on top. This combo I’d put at around 5 to 6

I had a st8 from the same era, lost the vertical anvil completely, disappeared through the chute, welding so poor it was effectively glued on. Moving it on was one of the best days of my life.
