A climber in Boise showed me a 3 to 1 rope trick and I've never gone back since

Back in 2019 I was on a removal job in Boise and a guy named Dale watched me fight a big limb for 20 minutes with a plain friction hitch. He pulled out a 3 to 1 setup with a couple of prusiks and had the thing drifting down smooth in under 2 minutes. Any of you still climbing the old way, or did somebody have to show you too?
