The best (retrievable) redirect

I am looking for a great retrievable (from the ground) redirect. Competition time is coming up, so I am looking for a system, you are SURE to get Down, every time :-)
Am using this system now, but if it gets stuck, your Whole system is stuck, including your main climbing system.

Any cool ideas?

That is a slick set-up, I use one just like it. To be honest it ends up staying on the ground most of the time because it's big and kind of a PITA.
 
I find the best retrievable redirect that I've used is this.

Just some simple slipknots. Works great and I personally haven't ever been worried when using it. Unfortunately I don't think it would work for a comp. Good luck!

That one there is the winner as far as I'm concerned! Thanks for that. What makes you think it wouldn't work well in a comp?
 
I had talked to people about it before and they said since it wasn't backed up that it wouldn't be allowed. Thats just what I was told but who knows... It is a really badass redirect though!!
 
If there is a redirect that will work every time,that would be great. In a comp. what can go wrong could go wrong. Mabee set up a srt redirect from the ground, anchor it, when you hit that spot mid line it. If that is your last station; hopefully the limbwalk your golden...If not keep it simple. Meat and potatoes.
 
Using the tail of your rope as anchor point while only having to control one hitch. Pic shows set up..

Played around with some ideas on the ground and thunk up this one. What you all think? Workable? Drawbacks?


Edit- Shoot, I guess I need to figure out the picture posting part first huh...

Hey Jason, You don't use the tail. You use the lead... or the middle, in some cases

I've tried a bunch of different methods starting with the version that has the Prussic, then playing around with a multisaver. They both work, only screwed myself once by going through in the wrong order.

Throwbag not always necessary as it come down like a rocket if you are 15ft away or so.

Also, curiously, the configuration keeps both legs together and one leg won't flip over branch.

I'm going to put up a video on it hopefully by the weekend.

Let me know what you all think!
