adjustable redirects?

[kevin bingham]

this is one way to retrieve it, just like retrieveing a natural redirect. you can also clip a keychain biner or rope guide trap thingy to pull it out when you pull out your whole line.

 

You can do the same thing with a strap and two biners, but two biners seem to get stuck easier and I really like soft links.

here is a closeup of what makes the softlink work

Nice one Kevin, I like the whole 'soft shackle' idea. I have to give it a go with some old hollow braid.

Got anything les bulky than those leather sleeves??

Whats that stiff teather your using for the RW? (apologies for the derail).

[kevin bingham]

Yep! The leather isnt too bulky, i think the photo makes it look more so. I stuck some plastic into the sleeves, i was hoping you could retrieve with everything left on the line, you can sometimes, but pretty risky! Not worth it. The tether is aluminum that i drilled holes into. I picked up the aluminum at the hardware store.

what device have you got for your system in the video? It doesn't look like a rope wrench?

[kevin bingham]

that is a kong robot, works okay but needs to be removed for straight up ascent.
