There is opportunity for some shenanigans though, depending on how tight you pull the line. If you're going to put a 3:1 pulley on it and yank it hard like a slack-line, you'd better put a releasable knot between the line and the anchor. We practised with a Munter/Muel combination that works quite well. Bit complex to detail here so look it up before you commit too heavily. Alternately, just take a belay knife and cut the rope when you're finished. |
