    If you were shaped like me and needed a saddle?

    If you were shaped like me and needed a saddle?

    I started my search there. They don't make it anymore…I was told by a online retailer, who was told that by the manufacturer.

    If you were shaped like me and needed a saddle?

    Hello All, Happy New Years Eve. So, I’m in the search mode for a new harness. As everyone knows, it’s a difficult purchase because (at least in my area) there isn’t a store to try on different brands/styles. It’s strange to purchase something so pricey, and not be sure of the fit. With that...

    Petzl Sequoia Saddle - Size 1 - 2019 Current Model

    Cheers. I do like the build quality and design. I don’t believe I can get the Sequoia to ride lower.

    Petzl Sequoia Saddle - Size 1 - 2019 Current Model

    It just seems to "cramp" my kidney areas. The waist belt seems to ride a bit too high for my geometry. When I first started climbing, I didn't understand the difference between the side d's and the lower d's. As I sat suspended in a tree, the pressure became pretty intense (side ds). I asked a...

    Good morning, Muggs, I do use a longer lanyard. I have had 30’, but recently switched to 22’. I found the longer lanyard to be carried without full deployment, so I decided to dial in with frequency as the driver of length. With your 50’, are you staying on the main line and connected to the...

    It is a size 1, which according to the specs should be perfect for me.

    Fitting my Petzl Sequoia for comfort….

    Hello All, I have a Petzl Sequoia harness. I know it is considered a nicely designed harness, and is supposed to be comfortable. I am 5’10 and 154 pounds. That makes me a thin person. I find the waist belt rides up higher than I prefer, and puts pressure on my kidneys. Is this a design issue...

    Muggs, Thank you for your thoughts. I’m sure you’re right. I do a lot of hiking in to my climbing locations. The second rope would be a burden for this mule.

    Njdelaney, Just back from the climb. Yes…you were correct. Worked like a charm. Did get a bit tangled up on the descent…but that’s simply because I’m dopey sometimes. Safe…but dopey! I also experienced the truth behind a Texas Tug. When it came to retrieving my SRT line, all was good until the...

    Good morning, All. Yesterday I want out for a little climb. I had a few goals in mind: 1. I had in my possession a brand new, very “sexy” 150’ Vega Double Sewn Eye rope that I was excited to try (how geeky is that!). 2. I have been using a Notch ankle ascender, but I find the rope slips out too...

    A few random thoughts for the community buzzing on tree climbing...

    Hey dmonn, You know what is interesting around my neck of the woods? Many of the rec climbers are seriously experienced and active professional arborists. I find it super fascinating that during their time off the job they like to return to the canopy. I'm sure others on this forum can provide...

    A few random thoughts for the community buzzing on tree climbing...

    Good afternoon. Procrastinating at work. Thinking about my rec climbing this weekend. Met up with some friends and acquaintances to climb a Redwood in an area north of San Francisco. Here are the thoughts: 1. This community, be it rec or pro climbers is exceptional. So far (knock on wood), no...
