Gear required
1 x pulley and oval crab.
Issue
Strenuously stuffing a large amount of rope into a bag for a large single drop pitch, either mid-rope or at top of a pitch.
Solution
Your best bit is to use a small pulley.
I often have one clipped on my harness normally in-case of rescue scenarios, everyone should have some mini pulley on there person on SRT trips.
I simply clip the pulley to the crab on my hand jammer and pull the rope into the bag every so often using a 2 for one system so much easier! With a pulley its not much work and what's more it partly frees up your other hand to push the rope into the bag. A pulley is a lot less friction than a crab, even better however would be one of those self locking crib-lock? pulleys so if you let go of the rope it don't go back down the pitch.
This can also be used at the top of a pitch by clipping the pulley into the top of the Y-hang on one of the anchors giving you enough height to stuff the lower rope into the bag on a 2 for 1.
