The Re-Direct Thread

Also, I tried the M technique. The only downside I can see is that you can't adjust the second part of the system, as much slack as you let out of the primary line that amount automatically goes through the second leg of the M.

That's not really the case. The four legs will always equalize to the position of the climber. Even if you need to add or remove rope from the system, walking toward one side will cause it to shorten while the other side will lengthen.

A nice little retrievable from the ground re-direct I use every now and then is a krab girth hitched around a sling, then on the other end a krab with a micro pulley. The end of your rope with the eye is where the side with the krab only goes and the business end of your rope goes through the pulley.

Saw this picture posted on the Sherrill website illustrating a removable redirect...It was a bit hard to make sense of the drawing, how it would actually work.

That picture is wrong, wrong, wrong.

But that is the ISC pulley.

You mean a sling girth hitched around a krab? Hows the krab going to crawl back into his hole if hes got a sling girth hitched around him? Especially if hes dragging a micro pulley.
