To correct the problem, try doing it in reverse, start with the bit up high
and let it ease down into the line as you push it. *Gravity will not be
working against you and there should be less shutter.

Hey. I think the best solution might be to combine yours and Morris's
idea. Climb down the radiused wedge!!!
