Wraptor soon to be unavailable

Used my Wraptor on its first job today. Really nice to ride up and conserve energy. The customer took some pics so after he emails me them I will post them up. I did add 2 rings to my bridge last week to facilitate swapping over when if I can't stand on a limb. Used that method today and worked well. Basically just a ZZ climbing line on Wraptor, second ZZ on a 30 footer. Ride up to desired height, install short line ZZ on R or Left ring. Descend Wraptor ZZ to engage short line, precend with getting off Wraptor and installing climbing line. A little gear intensive but without a limb to stand on it makes the swap less painful. I hate the D-Ring squeeze when hanging from them. Really with the Wraptor I'm not sure that there is ever to much gear. Heck at my weight I'm good for at least 100lbs of stuff before I hit the weight limit of the Wraptor.

You should adjust your d rings.

Every saddle I've ever climbed on was horribly painful when you suspended yourself from the work positioning d rings. Thought it was just a fact of life you dealt with for the 2 minutes while you did a switch over. And none of the saddles I've used had any adjustment on the side d rings.
 
Suspending yourself from the side D's is painful even if for a minute or two. Much nicer just to move your lanyard connection points to your bridge for the transfer. Then put it back on your hip once the primary TIP is established.
 
Not saying I hang from my d rings but the last saddle I had that didn't adjust was my first saddle. Kolibri adjusts, erg ovation adjusts and so does the mcrs. I prefer to have my d a little forward so wh I'm working down a big spar my hip bones don't get soar.
