Retrievable doubled rope redirect

[Drew]

ill get it done bro

 

[Drew]

here goes...............
pretend the mug is the branch your going to redi off.
thread the green rope through the cinch and through the ropeman. put climbing line through the hms carabiner. clip the retrieval shackle onto your spliced eye climbing line.

 

[Drew]

its all good to climb on now. the cinch locks on and can only move as far as the ropeman, the ropeman will only slide up to the cinch, not the other way. note there is no retrieval line going back to the redi. now to get it back........................ lanyard in and clip bottom carabiner from hc to a marlin spike. attach a retrieval ball about 2 ft above your climbing spliced eye

 

[Drew]

ball is attached-elastic cord keeps it in place better

 

[Drew]

pull your hitch down and it will send your spliced eye upwards towards the redi. the ball will pop through the hms carabiner and hit the shackle, keep pulling and the shackle will open the ropeman. the ropeman will in turn open the cinch.

 

[Drew]

ropeman open....

 

[Drew]

cinch open. the only thing to go through the redi crotch is the green rope that has no knot or anything to get stuck. once out you just pull the rope back to you.

Okay it finally clicked thanks drew. Where do u get the retrieval shackle?

 

[treebing]

makes my head hurt, but that was fun.

Drew,
First, that is awesome. Second, is there a reason you attach the ball 2 feet above the splice.

 

[Drew]

hey bro, i attach the ball 2 ft away so that when you retrieve, the hc crab doesnt get caught up in the redi. It gives the shackle room to move if ya know what i mean. It all looks rather cumbersome but in use its real easy to setup and retrieve. cheers

ART trapeze but any shackle will do.

nice, so you can leave the carabiner on during retrieval. I have everything except the cinch in my basement. time to get to work.
