That day at the county fair demo tree changed how I rig

I was up in a big oak at the fairgrounds back in 2017, doing a removal demo for a crowd. Had my rope set up like I always did, running through a single pulley. An old climber from Oregon walked up and asked why I wasn't using a redirect to take the pressure off the crotch. I figured them where he pointed, and the whole piece came down smooth without binding. Now I spend way more time on anchor placement before I even make the first cut. Anybody else had someone call out a basic habit mid climb?

That redirect tip saved my rope too, total game changer.

Small adjustments like that redirect always teach big lessons and @nancy275 saw the same thing happen.
