Bosun seat?

[Liam]

what do you prefer, bosun seat or leg straps?

Also looking for any anecdotes about homemade buttstraps. Haven't had the chance to check, but I'm sure there's already been a thread about this

i like both, bosun seat is nice if you are in the spikes for a while, but leg straps are nice to prune and move around in. I guess it depends on what you spend more time doing.

LEG STRAPS!

I'm with Dan here, each has its plus and minus qualities. One thing I did notice is that the RAD climbing system seems more efficient when using a butt board. Another issue is pinch factor that leg strap saddles hve the potential for.

Bosun!!

Old habits are hard to break.
Depends on your style and preferance.

Leg straps.

bosun, hard core. I like being comfortable. maybe though i'll experiment.

I would climb with just a belt if I didn't need to sit every once in awhile. Since I do have to sit sometimes, I like a bosun.

The seat never gets in my way even when doing light pruning. I also always had problems with my leg straps moving around even when tight and had to repostion

Mike, your avatar has been etched on my brain since the other night.

Shall we re-nickname Big Baby 'The Woodchuck?' He sorta looks like one:
