In reply to beardy mike:
Hauling really isn't that bad if you get it right.
1. make sure your partner is built like a beast
2. make sure YOU short fix - this means your partner will have to do more of the hauling
3. counter balance haul if the load is heavy, or use a 2:1. If light use a grigri and a redirect, not a jumar
4. keep the hauling area free of clutter. You don't want to be tripping over ropes as this wastes energy, time and makes one angry.
