I use a Lyon tape sling with a couple of DMM Revolvers larks'd to them.

Works ok.

Or a double pulley on a sling.

 

Better still, put a Rope Wrench above your HC and work on a single line. you'll have no friction at all then. 😱

ISC Double pulley on a sling here too

Double pulley would work better, no doubt.

Can you get a swing-cheek one so its attachable mid-line?

Yes you can Mark. I bought one about 6 years ago and I think I have used it about 4 times.

Yes and I used one for several years and it was always a pain. It was just a time consuming fiddle and doubled rope re-directs are far from perfect.

Joking aside, the reason I climb on a single line now is for the re-direct advantage.

Does anyone know a good way to make a retrievable redirect with one of those isc re-direct pulleys? I have one and tried to figure out a way of using it for a bit but gave up and just went back to a biner!

Have a look on Vtio.org.au there is a pdf of redirects for doubled ropes on there

ISC double pulley and a sling works really well. May not be perfect but it's near enough for me. For a retrievable redirect the sling and revolvers posted above does the job well.
