Jake, Joby, Matt and I went up to Timberline today, found a little spot outside of the parking lot and grinched it up! We took one of the sliders and a barrel for a bonk. Was sick to have the Grinch pull two people up at a time, we even tested it with three which worked just fine. The lighting was terrible, but here are some pix:

More Pix

It worked out pretty well, we just got a rotation going. Someone would pull a dude up, run the handle back down the slope, pull someone else up, but we just kept a rotation going so you would do one trip down to get someone, then the next trip down you could hit a feature. It was fast and worked awesome, no hiking.
