sequoia

Love to see a couple of pics with you attached to the rope bridge, thento see what it looks like with you attached to the rings. To see how it sits!
 
I have some Ficus trees work on Monday I'll try and post some pics on the set up.. I'm new to this belt, so I'm trying new things,, Any suggestion ? Due share ...

Later from a wet SO-CAL am!!
 
I received two saddles yesterday. My first impression.. sweet. It's very light, well made and thought out. The "fast" buckles work great. Different than the BFII, but work as well. The overall saddle I think is lighter and more... hmmm ..."stable" and "airy" than the BF. Although the BF has a little more padding in the waist belt, I like the design of the petzl better. Mostly because of the support and the d-rings (alum) and all the storage thats provided. One of my pet peeves with the BF is the piping around the edges. Petzl has the same stuff but why can't they double stitch it?? I've seen BF's two weeks old that look like crap!

There's these built in saw holders that are cool, but I'm trying to figure out how to hang a saw from them so it will hang straight. The only thing I've come up with so far is a twisted clevis, but that seems a little heavy (but my pockets lighter!). I'm sure it wont take long for someone to come up with something.

To answer someones question; yes the large bridge rings can be loaded. The bridge has three adjustment positions and it's a very easy switch. I moved the bridge to the lowest position and for me it worked alot better. Before I made a few adjustments the saddle wanted to rock me backwards. I'm sure once its dialed in, it will sit more naturally. I think the size of the rings are perfect. Big enough to clip into, easy to change the bridge AND put a ring or swivel on it. I had a little trouble with just a biner on it (on the bridge). I think I'd put something on the bridge.

Anyway, its a nice saddle. I think come competition time we'll see alot less of them bf's

Now.. would I trade my treemotion for it??........ nowayman
 
So you like it , I got my last wk and it's been non- stop especially w/this killer weather in the low 80's

Later in SO-CAL
 
I have had mine on for just one tree. So far so good. I have had a Butterfly since 02 and I think this is an upgrade and still 200 cheaper than the tree motion. I like the customizing weight transfer from legs to hips! and the large caritoo slot is great! I could hang an 044 from it no problem.
 
I love the comfort of this light belt , my other climber has a new TF which i will try out next wk to see what that feels like .... Once they fix the attacment problem on the Buzz i'll post some pic of old climbing belt in our shop....

Later from a Very Sunny SO-CAL ,,,, climb safe and enjoy!!
