Great technique but a good idea if you've discussed it first!
With the best will in the world, a crab dangling down on a loop to a frightened partner skulking under an overhang with words blowing around in the wind and the sea crashng below is not the best place to try it for the first time!
Great Video! Thank you very much.
Even though it is a little fast in some sections, but hey, I watched it several times .
One question: What knot would you use for tieing off the belay device? I just read in the book from Duane Raleigh and Mike Clelland and they suppose a Mule knot. I did this one but with an eight at the end. Will this do for the assisted hoist?

Its a rescue technique - you're hardly likely to discuss it first.
