I've had some success with SRT this year including one animal so far, but….I got into a such an uncomfortable position yesterday during a climb I realize I don’t have it figured out yet. This particular tree forces you to have an anchor point a little bit away from the trunk so your basically just hanging on the rope on the way up. It’s not as bad when you've got your foot in the ascender loop but when I stopped to attach my platform I took my foot out and was just hanging in the saddle. It was awful. I felt like I was getting squeezed in two. I’m using a single panel saddle, I don’t want to name it because it’s a nice one and I like the guys who make it, but man you can’t stand to hang in it for long. Any body else encountered this or have fixes?
