Croll advice

How to get a small cylinder (5.1 in length, ~4.1 in girth) unstuck from an old style Petzl croll type E (the one with the blue metal catch)? The cylinder must not be damaged!

Wait for it to get smaller. I just think of Thatcher

Have you tried down prussiking?

WD40. Odin mud does the job too

Maybe if you attach a photo we could help?

I think covering in peanut butter will help

Is there a reason that you can't move the cylinder through the croll? In the direction where the teeth don't catch?

Yes, the cylinder is attached to a large object

Help.

Help.

The lack of blue anodising on that suggests it's actually a type "D" Petzl Croll, as you can see Here, so there's your problem.

Help.

Hmm doesn’t look like a petzl croll E to me. I can’t help someone who is so prepared to lie
