    I have a retrievable re direct and occasionally use it. Had a wee SRT workshop with Scott Forrest a few weeks back and was asking him about redirects. He generally just uses natural redirects or just runs out to the tips given a good anchor point Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

    Its pretty rare i actually use a base anchor but when i do this is what i use, to show people who may not have understood, if the second climbing line will be too short doubled it can be used single and a simple ring added in order to take some friction away the same is acheived with a figure 8 or running the rope through a lower d on a harness for example. Gumpy just ran me through this set up at the weekend it's incredibly simple and very efficent Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
