I recently received this photo from my contact in USDA-APHIS, the supervisory tree climber managing the ALB eradication efforts out of Worchester, MA. He says he doesn't really know the providence of the concept, but his guys are calling it the "European pick".
It shows a simple method for rigging a climbers DRT system to allow for easy hoisting of an incapacitated climber out of a crotch or to unweight his lanyard, to facilitate an aerial rescue.
Simple and straightforward, little extra gear needed. Worth a look, and I'm for sure storing it away in the mental toolbox.
