If I saw a video of you doing that Butch I would probly faint.

Ian, I kind of followed, can you give us a step by step?

It's a 'biner in an Loop-Sling that has been Toggled with a Slip-Knot then Daisey-Chained.

Essentially, it's a very elaborate Slip-Knot. I've always had trepidation about climbing on any "Slip-Knot" ... no matter how elaborate.

My apologies in advance for this and with all due respect to Mr. Craig Johnson after whom the technique is named:
I ain't climbing a 'johnson'!

Hahahahaaa!

I did ask him 3 times if he was sure he wanted it to be called it...... Its used a lot to back up on double footlocking if you require retrieving the hitch or work unit. It pays to make the first one tight and as long as you do a minimum of 7 you'll be fine. Personally id of called it the CJ.

Hope this is easier to follow

If you cut a branch and it tangles in the loose end of you rope on the way down, won't you be keeping it company?

No, your srt line is dependent to this redirect, if you use one line then yes but i use a 3m bit of rope tucked in my strop pouch. The reason why the dDRT one got bad press is because its one line, this is 2 or 3 components to form the redirect.

Hope this explains it a bit better,

I think I've done that but ditched the webbing sling and just daisy chained the rope straight to the limb and clipped the carabiner to the daisy chain.

Either way, I know this system works and it's one of those "cant use it for everything but it's awesome when you DO use it" sorts of things.

I am leaning toward the Johnson statement....

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Seems like its application might be as a false crotch.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Sooooooooo....
Redirect and now a dildo??? Where is this thread going?

You need to change the name for export, dude.

How about the Direct, Inline, Loopie, Directional, Operation. or Dildo for short...... It could be called a CJ for short (of which i prefer)

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I can just hear it now... get your new D.I.L.D.O. kit now at Tree Stuff.......
