Joe,

The procedure you describe sounds sweet - I'll file it away for future use.
However, couple of questions.  How
much does the grapple and chain (if used) weigh?  On the descent, and
particularly when ascending up to the loop where the grapple is to be
fouled, the team member carrying the grapple will be using his own BC or
wing to counteract the weight of the grapple, yes/no?  Or have I
misunderstood?
If yes, then for argument sake, lets say he drops it.  Is the immediate
excess buoyancy
going to be a problem?

Regards,

Mark.
