Solo Hauling 12-Jan-2011 At 7:45:40 AM sliamese

The way ive done its always on the pro trax, with an overhand(or any knot) behind backinh it up if teeth do somehow fail. Before you go back down, pull most of the slack through protraxion. Then before lowering out bags, slide knot protector on the haul line up, and tie am alpine butterfly beneath it to tack out excess slack in the system then lower bags out! Thats how i done all my solo hauling without complication!

I like this methpd because theres no unweighting of potentially massive bags, its ready to haul as soon as urback at belay and its not a 'depends' set up. I use it exclusively wether the pitch traverses or is dead plumb. Note though you do need to jug the tail of your line on big traverses!
