    Last cold front didn’t do the trick but alas, there is another on the way. Hopefully that goddamn ice will bond!

    Go long on both sides of the V thread (think x). fish a dyneema sling down one side to end and push a cord down the other to the end. Twist the dyneema sling and pull, the cord should pull out with the dyneema.

    yeah, I had to something similar with webbing, but it sure wasn't the ideal size or material. I was worried I'd have to use a boot lace if that failed (eye roll).
    Considering it was the first outing of the season I'm surprised that was the only idiot move I made.
