i use a running bowline. if i wanna pull it down i tie another bowline around the tail of my rope (rope on rope, carabiner would be cleaner) that way i can rappel down a third of my rope length. i can make a picture to clear things up?

Went on an adventure with Levi, to find the Lone Sequoia the trail is named after. That took 20 minutes. Then we walked straight to the road. You can drive up to about 30 yards from it. Got a few closer pics, but the undergrowth is so dense, photography is difficult. Then, Levi decided that...

Wrapped up a small lot clearing mostly dead fall. But damn this mud is getting old, shit should be frozen feet deep by now.

Dang it was taken down
