Nope, nobody!! I have some changes I want to make but I have another iron in the fire for now so that's gonna take my attention for a while.

Just curious as its customizable, can you do two sets of side dees? Out front and a second set back further for the big stuff? Of course that's assuming that out front is actually better than the further back setup.
I do not own an mcrs or a valiant so I am just speculating. I just picked up a MB and am really liking it, but the valiant is tempting.
Click on the picture and you will find tons of Valiant's strung up in many different configurations-

Any chance someone in southern Ontario, Canada has one I can fondle? I'm about to step away from my Petzl and this is in the top three. It just looks so fun to set up and dial in. My main concern is the hip support when rolling sideways. Other contenders are the TreeRex (demoed one in store) or the MB (never touched one but looks like a couch). Runners up: Simarghu Fire, TreeMo, Ergovation / BuckTree.

I'm in Hamilton. Tom.
Pretty dialed. Isc rings. Rock exotica rigging plates. Handsaw and saw leash on the right. Lanyard adjuster and extra gear (wedge bag, speed line kit, ect.) on the left. Spartan, highly effective, and IMHO nothing can touch Matt's rope saddle creations for comfort....Nothing.

If your ever in Norcal you can come fondle me anytime...
Looking at your first pic from last set,@rico, these are some options I might try. The small ring might keep the larger from sliding and be movable between the riveted loops. Girth hitch would align the plate better. Easy way to adjust bridge length if three ropes will fit in hole.

I don’t know what I like more! The bridge cats paw or the dee’s

I have bony hips and the tree motion hurts me. The valiant and MCRS do not

Im thinking the ring on ring for hip d's will move when slacked. Am I wrong?
Some awesome ideas as usual Brocky. I already tried the ring under a ring idea (ala TreeMo) but it just wouldn't stay put. I spend so much time standing in a flipline, which is pulling everything forward, that it didn't take very long before the rings where pulled all the way forward and were pushing into the webbing very hard. It got bad enough that it began to pull any slack out of the rise to the rigging plates, and before I knew it the rigging plates were sucked almost all the way up to the waist belt...All this happened while I was chunking down a good sized Redwood, and needless to say I wasn't happy about it....
Love your idea for the rope bridge but I am not an adjustable bridge sort of fella....Set it and forget it is how I roll...

In @Brocky s drawing the instead of using a girth could two separate lines be used? The upper could be 3/8s tenex spliced like a whoopie with the eye capturing the dee ring after it went through the (red ring if it were a Tm) flat ring? Then the lower line can go though the rings as shown down to the rigging plate, and back up to itself terminated with a Blake’s?
Just some ideas, it’s starting to look like I need to play around a bit!

Faken sexy, Rico. Not your first rodeo setting these things up.
Good idea, evo, but does it need to be that adjustable? The Blakes, and maybe whoopie, would have to be shielded somehow to not accidentally get bumped.
Tried smaller and larger rings under the side ring with no success, with the double ropes not being constantly under weighted, it easily slides. Another option is a Prusik, the soft shackle was only long enough for one rope.

Good luck with your Valiant. I think your gonna love it. Based on a few climbs I have some very high hopes for the Valiant....Much like the MCRS it could be something pretty special...time will tell? With the amazing built quality and the fact that the user can rebuild the suspension it also has the potential to last a very long time....Very refreshing in a time of very expensive mass produced saddles, constructed from space age materials, that you are supposed to retire after a couple seasons of climbing.....
