Greg wanted to stand the stump up, but I wanted video during daylight, and I wasn't sure about winching the stump fully across the creek from where I was parked, and I didn't want to have to climb a 10' stump in the dark to get my cable unhooked, so we decided to lower it and unhook until Thursday. It took almost as long to chop the cable out of the end as it had taken to saw through the log, but I was being more careful since it's more expensive to repair 100' of 1/2" cable than to replace a chain & bar.
