what's wrong with wrapping the rope round a butt and a pair of welding gloves or an old sweatshirt, best brake ever. Back in 2001 we did golden lane for benchmark, they had a capstan which was just like a car wheel, constantly turning. it bolted to the tube and you wrapped the rope round it and it pulled all your gear up for with the only effort being tying the stuff on. never seen one before or since.
