Retreiving Repelling Rope Rigmarole

[Hardly_Hangin]

Hardware not required and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it.

Attach your pull down rope via small carabiner or any other method behind the knot on your rappelling rope. Works 100% of the time. Knot comes down first leaving nothing to potentially snag in the tree.

You’ll be rewarded with this image at the bottom of the tree.

Knot pictured is a figure eight on a bight with a double overhand behind it. The small carabiner is rated but that’s not necessary. I like a rated carabiner because it gives me a backup and weighs almost nothing.

Nice, I'll tie my girth hitch like this next time I try it, I had been using a boline. This looks more streamline and your double overhand helps get rid of excess tag length

If you spend anytime in a tree you will inevitably get it stuck. I use a tight eye with an oval screw link with a micro pulley to cinch the climbing line around the tree. I have a prussic attached behind the tight eye and with the addition of the micro pulley makes very smooth rope removal.

Micro pulley. Interesting. Photo?
