One stick climbing with Recon sling?

[KYhunter66]

Anyone using the Recon for one stick climbing? I have been practicing with it. I was wondering if anyone is using a rock harnesses with it or a short bridge? Thanks

I do. No RCH. I have the holes version and use an adjustable 8mm ResTech bridge with TRC hitch. I shorten it way down for the climb, and I use the leg straps, pain that they are. Works great.

I use my ESS with a short bridge . The Recon and ESS very similar saddles. It works fine for one sticking.

If anyone is interested in the Recon Sling I am selling a Rock Climbing harness that I have found to be extremely comfortable. I bought one and ended up with second one that I have not used. It is brand new in the unopened bag. I have it listed in the for sale section of the forum. It is extremely comfortable and well padded. Rock climbing harnesses by design to absorb falls. I am including a photo of it. If interested see the listing on the "for sale forum" or contact me.

Thanks!! I was thinking about shortening my bridge. My Recon sling has the webbing bridge I'm set about 17inches. I just don't really want to change it! and the leg straps are a pain to use. Thanks again

Thanks I have a black Diamond harness just wondering if anyone was using both.

I had recon and was one sticking with it, worked fine. My only gripe was managing the “panels/webbing” with the weight of pouches (where I kept repel rope). Once it’s on at the truck or base of tree, it was fine one sticking and repelling.

The Bungie belt mod is mandatory.

No pouches for me, and no bungie belt.

I upgraded to the blue webbing belt with the little buckles.

No problem

Not exactly one sticking but I 2TC with it. One sticking and 2Tc are probably very similar. I love my Recon for 2TC. I use the regular webbing bridge set about 16 inches and use the regular blue webbing belt with buckles.
