On vertical and near vertical terrain without much wind, I find lowering the ends of the rope to be an effective way to avoid getting tangled in trees and avoid hitting climbers below. It’s great to know these techniques for less straightforward terrain though! Thanks for posting

Definitely! And I agree lowering ropes is a great way!
That last one, the redirected lower, very nice.

Really the best way! But no one ever wants to be lowered from above even though we do it all the time in single pitch terrain!
Great video. Love the yarn ball idea! Did it yesterday and it worked very well. The only method I didn't see you touch on was the "alpine bomb".

I thought about adding that! I think the rescue throw is better unless it is super windy where I will just saddle bag.
Nice

In the third example, when you had saddlebags on each side of you and were mostly down the route, what third hand did you use to enable you to take both hands off the rope? Thanks

I generally use an autobloc. For friction hitches, it doesn’t really matter what you use it is more about if it works. So it is a good idea to test them before each use.
any tips on pushing rope?

I would start with pushing wire. Then thick rope, then this supple rope.

I didn’t talk about them in this video but you can see I have “closed the system” in all the scenarios.
