Irv, 
Getting down was never a problem.  There are two methods to employ: 1) let both sheets go, gravity does the rest,  It's fast, not safe; 2) the climber pulls slack into one halyard then partner locks that clutch and pays out other halyard around the winch.  Repete the process. It's safe, not fast.
