I shelved my saddle last year because I couldn’t get my system down but I think I just achieved zen today (with a little help from y’all).
I don’t like the fact that a linemen’s belt is not really a fall arrest system so I replaced it with a “mini tether”.
I am running a Kestrel saddle, a “mini tether” with a Ropeman 1 where the linemen’s belt used to go, a main tether in the original spot, and two muddy climbing sticks with an aider on the first stick.
I’m only trying to get about 13 feet up which I can do with just two sticks. The total weight is about 14 lbs which I could cut down if I changed sticks but I like the bulky steps for right now.
I hoping you guys can critique my set up or at least confirm everything is set up safely. One point that is questionable is I have a “soft on soft” connection on one side of the “mini bridge” (green strap).
Please see pics in the link below. Thanks!!
