What is the best way to do this? The first thing that came to my mind was attaching another rope to the loop made in between the anchor and the stone knot. Throw up some webbing and rapide and rig a munter with the new rope, take all the slack out as you can, then cut the webbing for the original set up. Lower. However, this requires a second rope.
