I'd say a small pronged boat anchor or make one up. Just tie your climbing line to the eye. I suppose the prongs could straighten coz that's how boat anchors are designed if caught on a reef, might be best just getting one welded up.
Also there's like collapsable pole saws that extend out 10' or so but fold up only a few feet long that hang from your harness. Maybe convert a collapsable fishing rod, make it a stiff one though, put a hook on the end.
I dont climb with the pole saw, just pull it up if I need it. |
