    Little tricks

    I climb on a treemotion. It has an extra set of D rings on the thigh pads straps. I pass a bight of my rigging line through it and then just poke the end of the rope through the bight. Essentially its just a quick hitch but its fast and doesnt add any extra gear. Same could be done with any...

Falling it in the water and winching it out would probably be your best bet but if there are obstacles that keep you from being able to, then you may just have to climb it bud. Lowering line, tag line, lots...

I run a girth hitch with 3/8ths tenex (single carrier) on my omni and i just got done doing equipment checks. After a year of use (and my omni block having a bearing failure)...
