Right now, I am using a sitdrag with a rock climbing harness. Does anyone pair a saddle (tethrd, Cruzr, etc) with a rock climbing harness?
What would be the point other than double protection because they both provide the same amount of safety especially if the saddle has leg loops! Just wondering your reasoning?Right now, I am using a sitdrag with a rock climbing harness. Does anyone pair a saddle (tethrd, Cruzr, etc) with a rock climbing harness?
Gotcha that is definitely alot safer!! And never heard of too much safety!!!! LOLToday, I tied a second shorter tether below my main tether and tied an autoblock to my personal anchor system which was girth hitched to my rock climbing harness. I use the personal anchor system for rappelling. But one thing I really liked was the backup system AND when I attached my back support, I just attached it to my personal anchor system. That is, no opening carabiners that have load. Anyway, that's why I'm wondering hahaView attachment 33552

I mean if all else fails LOLLooks like you are tied off to your gear strap, so everything should be good.

Those legs loops are not intended to be used as a safety legs loops like the RCH legs loops you can compare peaches to apples!!What would be the point other than double protection because they both provide the same amount of safety especially if the saddle has leg loops!

Depends on which ones you are referring too cause some of them are!Those legs loops are not intended to be used as a safety legs loops like the RCH legs loops you can compare peaches to apples!!
Can you point me to does that do so I can purchase one of these saddles and can dump my RCH would really appreciate it!Depends on which ones you are referring too cause some of them are!
During last season, I started to set up my rappel line right away after climbing. Mostly, because I didn't want to deal with it after dark. With that, I realized I have a backup tether on the tree, with a bit slack, but it was a backup. That made me thinking that a backup is not a bad thing. At the same time, I realized that it all comes together at the bridge and the saddle. So, only 33% of my system has a back up. The tether, but not the bridge and saddle. It was then when I decided to play around with my RCH in addition to the saddle during the upcoming season. It would be purely as a backup to ease my mind and see how much extra stuff I'd have to deal with. If I put the RCH on under the saddle, it should not hinder in any way while walking in or during climbing.Today, I tied a second shorter tether below my main tether and tied an autoblock to my personal anchor system which was girth hitched to my rock climbing harness.

What additional failures are you covering for here, vs just adding extra complexity/snarl/movement restriction? Safety's critical of course, and the biggest part of that is the human factor.Today, I tied a second shorter tether below my main tether and tied an autoblock to my personal anchor system which was girth hitched to my rock climbing harness.

That looks like more clutter than Ole @bj139 s set up hahaToday, I tied a second shorter tether below my main tether and tied an autoblock to my personal anchor system which was girth hitched to my rock climbing harness.

A couple of points to that:My philosophy here, which gets zero traction whenever I mention it on the forum, is that with almost any other hunting method - climber for example - you have two layers of protection... first the stand has to fail, and then the tie off has to fail, for you to take a long fall.
As you point out, saddle hunting is generally one layer of protection.
So yeah, when I’m sitting in a JX3 I also have my lineman’s girth hitched and running as a tether to RC harness. It’s not uncomfortable and it’s not that cumbersome. I also climb with a tether and a lineman’s. Again, it doesn’t feel like a big deal vs the peace of mind.
Aero Hunter had climb rated leg loops and the old Trophylines used the same webbing as climbing harnesses used and if you research it I am sure there are others those are just two off the top of my head!Can you point me to does that do so I can purchase one of these saddles and can dump my RCH would really appreciate it!

Not sure about present day saddles but there is a Aero Hunter for sale in the classified section!Had and that means past saddles what about present day saddle?
