Does anyone have any fancy method of getting to the wing dump valve when stage bottles are blocking the string in the valve. Had some problems accessing the valve during practice yesterday. Im thinkng of making the string a little longer. Dont want to get into a uncontroled assent. Any big ideas..Dont need to hear any smart answers either!! I can get those from my wife..

Some Sidemount Cave Divers switch the locations on the wing of the pull dump to be where the inflator is and put the inflator where the pull dump is....then they run the pull cord over the should so that it is easy to access on the front where the inflator is usually located.

Not saying you should do this it's just a method that I know works for that configuration.
