Switched from a two-block to a single line reeve for a tricky lift in Phoenix

Always used a two-block for stability on the 150-tonner. Had a job last month moving a weirdly shaped sculpture downtown. The rigger on site, guy named Ray, convinced me to try a single line setup with a tag line. Said it would give me way more control for the slow, precise drop. He was right. The whole move took about 20 minutes and felt smoother than any two-block lift I've done on an art piece. Anyone else use a single line for delicate stuff and find it better?

We did a single line lift for a glass atrium in Tempe last year and it was way more precise.

Remember when my buddy tried that and messed it up, @henderson.kim?
