Sometimes in the middle of a haul, we need a little extra mechanical advantage to get past a difficult section of that haul. Here’s one way to quickly convert a 3-to-1 system to a 5-to-1 system. Given the number of resets a long haul would require for this setup, it might be best used for only those three feet (about 1 meter) of hauling where we need that extra assistance.

These systems can be built even faster when using a quick-to-apply capture device like the Petzl Tibloc.
