You are one of the best I have ever seen, Max. First class work all the way.

Tornados are weird that way.

That's the truth. Hardly even got any debris in it.

Climbing a rope is fast, sure. Setting that rope from the ground can be the absolute opposite.

I see...I misunderstood the sequence, from I was seeing. I have to say, I do agree with Stephen, Kyle, Rajan, and Mick. It was not as smooth as I would have tried for, myself. But you got it where you wanted, and nothing got busted, so that's a win in anyone's books :).

These parts of your post seem to not be possible at the same time, @davidwyby. If it would break the hinge to winch it to over center leading to failure to hit the intended lay, then it's not possible that the first pull to over center, then the slack before the second pull, didn't result in...

Just so.

I'm going to have to look at that pic again. My reaction was similar to Stigs.

Me too! :)

Fair point :).

@stig Nasty in the extreme, brother. @Bodean Sweet...are those portable deer stands?

That's in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Maybe Eugene or Corvalis, iirc?

I think you spelled heebie jeebie mo betta than I did, @CurSedVoyce :D.

It sure can be...when it isn't giving you a bad case of the heebee jeebees :D. Maybe the fun is the mostest after you have survived the heebee jeebees and the drop is a full-on success....might be so ;).

Next to last picture seems to be of a very worn-out flag.

Indeed. And even a fall from what might normally be a sub-fatal height, on to a fence like that could spell the be-all end. It's a very low probability event...just something the self-preservation part of our brains might dwell on.

Oh yessir, it is all those things. The scary part comes from the unwanted mental picture of falling from my perch above onto such a structure. It has happened before, at least once that I'm aware of.

Another one of those scary fences with the spears on top!

We tree folk traffic in the impossible with great regularity. ;)

@Bodean, you'd actually put the biner in the ring itself, and run the rope in it. It would be a sort of odd way to take the whole "ring for the rope" idea out of the product...but you'd only do this for negative rigging on a standing stem when the pinch issue you described might be in play...
