Retrievable| Removable| Redirects| Tree Climbing

This article is about a way of installing a redirect then being able to retrieve it without losing your high point.

Often the need arises to install a redirect, the usual method of carabiners or pulleys then running your climbing line through it is effective however it does mean having to return to it to retrieve it.

A simple method which is easier shown than explained is pictured below.

Do note, it's the tail of the climbing line that is secured to the clip at point 3. That's the end of the climbing line that hangs below your friction hitch.

  1. Tie a knot in the end of your lifeline once you have disconnected it from your saddle (do stay secured to the tree though with your lanyard!) as shown number 1.
  2. Then pull the climbing line so that the the knot passes through the carabiner shown as number 2, and gets caught by whatever little device you have (dog clips also suitable) on the other side as shown number 3.
  3. That device/clip etc at number 3 is attached to the tail of your climbing line. You simply pull it back to you and a short cord from that device (number 3) to the other pulley or carabiner makes sure the redirect also comes with it.
There's a 3mb PDF with not only that technique but also the retrievable M rig at Tree World on this thread.
