New Tribe?

I decided to get the pear link on mine and I wish I had gotten the delta instead. The pear link rotates on me all the time and some times it scares me when it catches on the fabric without me noticing and then it suddenly lets go. Its not a safety issue, but its annoying. I really don't think its that great for multiple tie-ins either.

Uh, the delta is even more unstable than the pear when upside down and when rightside up two biners would grind against each other. Maybe some sort of keeper could make things better?

I secure my pear with a webbing strap so it doesn't rotate. My typical scenario is I'll have the following attachments on my pear:
1. Swivel
2. Girthed sling SRT ascender attachment
3. Biner holding the standing end of the rope for DdRT (the biner holding my split tail is attached to the legstrap D, see photo below)
4. One end of my 12 ft. adjustable lanyard (I like my lanyard center attached for most situations)
That's a lot of attachments, couldn't be done with the delta screwlink. There is still room for 2 more biners if I'm double crotching, then it starts to get a little crowded.
The blue HMS biner on the soft leg strap D holds my split tail.

How often do you inspect the centre point where you have textile-on-textile rubbing ?
This caused the death of legendary rock climber Todd Skinner and has made me acutely aware of long-term T2T connections.
Anyways I’m looking into an ultralight climbing harness and this (apart from a rope bridge) seems like the perfect piece.

I have a New Tribe Yellow Jacket which had the central attach point. It is also a very light weight saddle and I really like it but it pinched my hips a bit when hanging in it any extended length of time. I removed the Delta and made an aluminium spreader bar about seven inches long with four holes: two centre ones, one above the other for the main line connection and the one below it for the leg straps. The two outer holes are for the waist belt. Now it no longer pinches but did add a bit of weight with the spreader and three SS shackles. Also beefed up the back padding by adding a wide back pad that I think is a replacement pad for the TreeMotion ($34. from WesSpur). I don't see the Yellow Jacket advertised any longer so it may be discontinued.

Never had issues with T2T rubbing on the Tengu, it’s built robust. it’s been a very long time once i’ve climbed on a center point attachment harness, sequoia then TM for quite awhile.
