Maybe this has already been discussed to death, but a search of this subject didn't turn up a good answer. What is the difference (if any) between a saddle and a harness? Is the harness a saddle with upper body straps? Thanks (again), if this is the millionth time around.

Perfect explanation!
For me I use the terms interchangibly. But, if I were to be proper, I think harness would be the most appropriate word for our context. A saddle is what cowboys use on a horse.

Saddle is a harness worn by treeworkers.
When I rock climb, it's a harness. When I work on Challenge courses, it's a harness.
When I'm around tree folk, it's a saddle.

theres a point! you'd have to ask a horse
does it really matter what you call it? I mean what is for instance the difference between rope or line, climbing line...or climbing rope? it's all rope right?!! line is something you put in your nose?

Ah. Yes. Now it's all clear. I suppose it really doesn't matter, does it? Thanks for your input. I guess I'll go saddle up in my harness and climb some trees!
