You sure do have a lot of crap hanging off you saddle.
I have to ask are you a rec climber or a tree man?
He climbs up a pole with a chair on it and sits in it(no joke)
He has to sound lkke Santa's sleigh jingling with all that stuff on his saddle.
I have read some of his more infamous threads.
That is some good feed back there, thanks and I sure agree that it was not designed for this.Thats quite the thought there, but i wouldnt trust it.
You have a rope wearing on the inside of its strands, which it wasnt designed for. It might work for a while, but it might not also!
one of the major problems is you can not inspect the system for wear cause your using the inside of the tennex.
I do like the enthusiasm, it's refreshing.
I'm repping of the joy factor, not because I'd climb on that system.....
i had came up with the exact same idea about 6 months ago and came up with the same key refuting point 2treeornot2tree said, too difficult to inspect for damage, as well as the fact that it cannot be installed midline.

............... not being midline attachable isn't a deal breaker. My rope wrench stays on the line most of the time anyway, that is the beauty of devices that ascend, descend and work position well. There should be a fiber out there that will have better characteristics for long term use, not sure what it is though, maybe a kevlar weave. The Tenex seems to work well though. It would be interesting to see the results of some drop tests. I look forward to seeing how it develops.
I hear your concern.I wouldn't like anything going around my neck.
