With nothing but time on our side, Chris and I decided that we should devote an entire day to training the transition stage of the line, which was the only part we are both having trouble with. We thought the best way to do this would be to rig the line lower and only walk out maybe 400 feet or so. This is exactly what we did. We put the anchors about 3 feet lower on both sides and set the line to the same tension that we had it at the day before (which was absolutely perfect) and just walked the transitions as many times as we could.

We were both able to successfully walk the transition zone 4 full times (there and back), for a total walking distance of roughly 2,400 ft. This was an exhausting work-out for both of us. We were absolutely wrecked by the end of the day, but we knew that we would be much stronger walkers after this session. By the end of the day, we were both very confident that the line would go down the next time we had it rigged.

That's all we have to report for this attempt.
