We have experimented with such system.  Sending it or ascending with it 
as a double spool so that the line can be recovered at the end of the 
stop.  It worked in the quarry.  I am not yet confident about using it 
in open water.  Obviously, if recovering the line is not an issue, the 
system is easier to deal with.  Have been carrying a reel with 400 ft 
of line instead of the upline.
