Hey Gilly, does it have to be a special German rope?

I learned something today! I never heard of the rope trick, but that is great if no air is available. I suspect once at the point of the rope holding the valves up, you'd want to lock the crank in place somehow, so it won't rotate.
Thanks Gilly!
