Purple understand redorects do certain things without fully understanding the vector forces. I had a contact climber redirecting through maple leads, but all leaned the same way. I had to keep telling him to go smaller. One fork then failed, but without a damaging consequence.

Click to expand... Agreed, coupled with a too heavy piece and brittle/half dead wood for rigging points.
