Great thread. Got me thinking about the original Bluejay problem, though. Here's what I would have proposed as a solution, and it doesn't take anywhere near as long:
Chop off 1-2 meters of your rope. Fix one end of it to the anchor with your knot of choice. Take the remaining rope and attach it to the free end of your short rope using a sheepshank. Weight the sheepshank to keep it in place and rap a nearly-full rope length to the rap station.
Once at the rap station, a few flicks of your rope should release the sheepshank. Hack off another 1-2 meters and repeat the process. Home free. No intricate rope surgery.
Of course, it's still quite risky to rap off a sheepshank. But it beats the alternative of a naked man rapping off a naked rope.
I'm surprised the ingenious Major Sorbet didn't think of this.
Oh yeah... what's up with the music video?
