I use a 2-3lb deadblow hammer and a 30ish inch prybar, the hammer is good to hit the assy, rope, sheaves and ladder rungs.
I use the prybar to put between he sheaves and rope and force the sheaves to spin by hand or use it as a punch to knock ice out from the inside of the assy. Sometimes that is the only way to reach the stubborn stuff that you can't hit with a hammer. We might get into it again this Sunday, Monday. The weather is caling for a wet storm with rapidly dropping temps again. YIPPEE
Yep wet storm... rain all day, lost RPD's around 9am going to ground somewhere. It's 12:30AM and I have the lift turning tonight just so I don't have to f*$K with the ice in the morning. Sometimes just running all night can solve some next day hassle... Yes Aug the ole' brass hammer.
