M Redirect Traverse

[Amelanchier]

Something I'd been meaning to post after watching Stuart Witt try it out in the Masters up in sunny Preston...

 

After setting up a M-redirect on the end of a slippery limbwalk, SW tightened the system up a bit, sat back into the system and began to pull himself along what was basically a retrievable traverse.

 

Swish. Its got potential and one day when I finally get my harness back on I'll have a go with my pantin for super laziness...

 

(I know, I know... you want photos. I see what I can do)

I was shown this when craig johnson visited college one day.

 

Install normal climbing system.

 

Install PPE rated small pulley above friction hitch and secure back to harness bridge.

 

Take rope from below pulley and above friction hitch and insert into ree dee or other cambium saver.

 

Job done

yes i know how to do a regular m-redirect, its the new traversing part which tony refers to that has me stumped...but it has been a hot day so that dont take much!!!

Like this. Pretty reliant on low friction though as Mr Witt wil tell you.
