Aaron Feather, CTSP demonstrates how to Apply an SRS Redirect without Unloading Your Primary Suspension Point.

The beauty of climbing using a stationary-rope system, or SRS, is being able to redirect onto limbs that can position you directly over your work. Limbs that would never absorb the dynamic strain of a moving or dynamic redirect, common with moving rope systems, or MRS, are now fair game. However, getting into one of these dream redirects that make you look like a rock star from the ground is easier said than done.
