Too bad the creator of said redirect is kind of a cocky douchebag... For that reason I will never use it as to never give him any credit

Is he? Lot of people come off like that online I suppose. In real life he's a real down to earth guy. He's been organizing rec climbs every month. Love him some trees.

Really, I'm kidding, we had one FB interaction and I just had to walk away from it...

To quote Jonathan Richmond (Modern Lovers) "Pablo Piccaso was never called an asshole".

If it's good it's good, suck it up! ;-)

I guess I see if you tranfered your weight from the working line to the retrieval side it would be a problem. I get what your saying.

That would be a clever trick. This one is the most resistant to accidental removal of any that have such a clean/reliable release. Any climber that uses these types of releasable redirects or anchors has to be aware of how they work and how they can fail. Nothing in tree climbing is fail-safe, but some techniques are better than others.

You can drop out of the tree, if necessary, anytime with this redirect.

Looks like this will be added to the BDB and Akimbo list of redirects ;-)

I knew that was coming. Get good at the whistle test with the RR too.

BTW, I organize rec climbs every month too. God I hope I didn't piss you off!

Lol! No way no how! I'm gonna start practicing redirects in the shower[emoji12]

True, but it could be as simple as grabbing the wrong line in the heat of a moment or little slip. Probably lends itself to the thought of using a separate pull down line.

I put a zip tie on my RR pulley a la someone on here. Works well for keeping it secure from drops.

I hear you. For the Beasthorn redirect if your weight is on the rope you can't release it. There is fairly significant resistance for the initial release, that's an excellent feature. As usual the bleeding edge arbornauts will carefully test these things and report back. I'm fine with a separate pulldown.

It's a little harder with ropes but when I carry a short line I try to use a red biner on the ascender and and green one on my long line. Just reminds me that the short line may not reach the ground.

 

[moss]

There is a sweet spot for complexity/simplicity for these redirects, production climbers can't mess around with too many moving parts, dangling lines dragging beind etc. I think that's why no widely accepted and used releasable redirect has emerged yet. Beasthorn is getting there.

Bluetooth remote release that requires 3 actions to send signal. Maybe release, enter, release, enter, release, enter.

No just say release three times into your sena

 

[treebing]

Throw line is no fun dangling for a release line if you plan on doing any cutting or moving. I dread even climbing while there is a throw line stuck or.something. and getting

Reep Schnur, almost as cheap as throw line...

Damn that's dedication. A climbing video while on the crapper. Thanks for not panning down on the video Richard.
