And then pull down on one leg of the rope when you're done. Or, also as mentioned, tie a running bowline at the base of something, run the rope up and over, so you can ascend the line and rappel on it, then pull it down from the attatched side. OR... you can use a friction saver and removal rig, using two rings and a bungee with a ball on it. Yes, I'm guessing none of you are familiar with that, its an arborist thing we do. Here. http://www.sherril...Saver_Instruct.pdf This is not only a friction saver, but also a removal setup. You'd use the friction saver so that you can have a high point anchor and allow the rope to slide over the friction saver device, INSTEAD of running over an anchor which could possibly damage your rope (or cut it and drop you). It's a little more technical than some of you folks are used to, but if you study it a bit you can take the theory behind it and adapt it to your own uses.
