Tricky Co-dom rigging

[rskybiz]

Had this Co-dom to rig out today. There was a good six foot section where I was unable to isolate individual leads. My discussion revolves around what the options may be available or safer.
I rigged it as one piece but it did instantly fall apart once untied.

I had thoughts of tying them together first, making a hole to be able to take them individually. Any other ways anyone can think of?

I think you made the right choice fwiw.

Each ones different, if you do it that way and guess wrong you can lose one or both logs. Hard call to make without being there

Could you have rigged the portion on the left above the union off to knock off some weight, then went lower/bigger to get below the inclusion?

...slap a binder chain onto it ....

It was a hard call I did feel that the two would hold together based on the small amount of flare. Toss individual chunks to get below was another option. Simplyarbor yes that also could have worked also.

This will go slack if they separate.

Some half hitches on each one, separately, it choke one stem, and add a sling and biner choked on the other stem, and clipped on the rope.

Make that marls.

I've encountered this exactly once, but fwiw, I used two strap-binders and it held everything together.

I'll isolate the leads with slings (loop runners often, or use multiple slings to choke the pieces with girth hitching.
All else fails, extreme bondage.

CurSedVoyce,

I agree. A spider leg or two...... or multiple web slings choked around the various parts would secure the load for the trip down.
