Was looking to see what others do for a raise lower system. Do you have each as there own independent system or do you have them tied together?
Example, the system that I use (for the most part) is to have the main haul line locked off to a descender. Connected to the descender is my MA. This gives the ability to raise the load stop and lower a full distance. It is clean and inline (allowing for everything to be in one field of view). The only area that is independent is the belay system, but that is kept simple as well with it just being the line, change of direction(double pulley in the case of having to use it as a haul, and a brake.
I have run into teams that find ways of making this very simple and I have seen some that seem to be in love with making it as difficult as possable.
How are all of you doing the job?
