The Wall pulley (see Yates Gear above) is my personal favorite. It's got a sealed bearing and won't bind up on a tyrolean traverse (I've tested this).

Love this video. While it’s a natural feature, this is how sticky low head dams are. Love the lack of safety too. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=9168227802071776104&vt=lf&hl=en
