The latest Matt Cornell harness

Well I rock a tree motion at work bc I don't think I'm allowed to use my valiant there so I use my valiant for rec climbs and side jobs.... I feel little to no pain from my treemotion harness. When I first got my valiant and used Matt's original configuration it hurt more than my treemo so I've changed the parts and configurations on my valiant so much over the cple years I've owned it. For a little while I didn't use it bc I found out weaver made it, i almost Sold it too. Untill recently I got some new parts and I like it a lot more now and been using it a lot more. I think it's can take some time to dial it in but once you do and you break it in, it can be an awesome pain free ride too.
I hate what weaver did to Richard and I'm a huge fan and supporter of Richard so I would definitely sell it and send him the proceeds but I love the whole idea behind it being old school, easily replaceable parts and freedom of customization. Idk that I could sell it for much these days anyways and I'm not rich. Yes I'm busy and I get by but no way I could burn it or toss it.
Once I got into this industry I had always dreamed of making my own harness so for me, that also makes it hard to part with. I'm dying to find a 1st gen Mcrs. If I did then I'd probably do like Steve did. Big upps to Steve, can't find a better guy than that.
I have also heard great things about the harness he's using now from many other people. So many choices these days so it worrievme when guys say their harness causes pain.
It's it something else? Idk when something hurts that's when I start researching and talking to guys like Steve and Rico and other good arbs on here to try to new configurations and techniques to not only make work less painful but it will make it much more enjoyable too.
 
I don’t post on here often but I’d thought I’d show my close to final result of the valiant. Still need to upgrade the bridge but for the most part this is how I’m going to run it. Turned out like Rico’s final product minus the splices.
Used 10mm kermantle anchored to the back ring with a girth. Tail of girth goes to side d terminated with anchor bend. Other tail of girth runs to the bridge rock exotica rigging plate and back through to the back ring terminated with an anchor bend. Pretty simply to do.
Thanks everyone for your posts and ideas. There’s a lot of very smart/creative people on this thread who’s ideas helped me in the design process.

Nice, always wondered how it would work doing it tree motion style.
You know Rico tried every config including tm style. If I remember correctly he didn't like that.
Love no splices and I really like how cottonwood tied the rigging plates on.
 
I do, but I prefer the MCRS. I will generally grab the MB 2.0 or the MCRS before going with the Valiant. I have an extremely skinny waist and the back pad on those 2 seems to fit me a little better.

Thanks for hooking me up bro. The mere thought of having a minty fresh MCRS in my life warms the cockles of my heart!
Rico you ... You... You....(inset comically funny yet suitably wicked sounding put down)
Been pipped to the post twice on a new mcrs now!!
It's all good, sounds like your addiction is greater than my need.

Does anyone else have a grey mcrs they would like to sell/swap/donate?
Dosn't have to be new, ideally it's not totally worn out, dosn't even have to be a whole harness, just the pads would work.

If so, PLEASE DM ME!!
A 3rd time and I'll cry in my cornflakes
