ODSK filmed these 2 retrievable re-directs a few weeks ago. 1 knot and 1 anchor.

 

We pull tested the 1st example, with block and tackle and load cell, on 10mm rope it took 3 times my weight in force to begin to move the slipped bight.

 

Thanks.

I like the look of the minty! It's not too dissimilar to the Johnson.

 

Reckon I'll try that out this week.

 

Cheers for the post!:thumbup:

Nice tip, thanks.

 

I bet you a pound the bugger sticks when I try it!

Dont choke it up too tight to the stem Mark, that gives it a bit more space to pull out.. sometimes needs a good yank to break it out:001_tt2:

Anyone tried this one?

 

Indeed I have. Seems to be better at cinching on stems without forks than the minty. Swings and roundabouts... if either dont pull out you can get into an awkward position.. best to carry a prussic with you so you can pull up the tail and get yourself out of trouble.. or use it for a 3:1, or a redirect:thumbup:
