redirect

[monkey boy]

does anyone know how to make a retreavble redirect

2 karabiners with a sling attaching both for the redirect, put your ropes through seprate karabiners, have a cambium saver in. when u put the cambium saver retreiver in it should go throught the first karabiner go up get the cambium saver and pull out the other artificial karabiner redirect with it. cant remember if its a good way of doing it or not but a tutor at college swore by it.

easy peasy. and you shouldnt ever have to climb back to it if you dont want too:001_cool:

just search through the climbers section and search for redis, theres heaps in there....

right i have a good redirect i made up i will post a pic it comes out the tree easy with my rope guide

bernd strausser taught a really clever way of making a retrievable redirect with the end of your rope, a karabiner and a double pulley. based on the daisy chain knot. fool proof under weight. but i don't know how i'm meant to show you through writing. it's a fiddly knot so i only use it for bigger trees. so sorry i can't show you

Firstly, a redirect isnt properly retrievable unless you can retrieve it in tree, and carry on climbing. Pulling it out with a friction saver from the ground at the end of the climb doesnt count, in my book.

 

 

Secondly, any technique or equipment to do that job is complicated and/or gear intensive, and I dont find it neccessary to do it, other than very occasionally.

 

The best way to do what you want to do is to use a hitch retrievable, which needs no extra gear, and is quick and easy to set up.

another pic of the really complicated redi. cant remember how it ties anymore either. does work really well though but takes time to learn.
