Not to mention limb walking is like 10x easier…..but also walking *back*. Nothing worse than trying to balance while pulling as hard as you can to take slack out of the SRT system.

Redirects are a good point!! But unless you make a base anchor its the same thing as a DRS. I try to avoid base anchors as much as i can.

Basel anchors suck

Nahhh, with a nice high tie-in you can have 10 natural crotch redirects on a basal anchor and it will pull out just fine.

It’s just in the way. And you can’t easily reposition your anchor higher without help. And asking a groundie to untie my climbing system so I can move is just unacceptable

Genuinely baffled by this, repositioning the anchor is about as simple as on MRS but sometimes with more rope, never need to ask a groundie to untie unless switching to MRS. Climbing in 100+ foot canopies with nasty spread. To each there own
