Hi, just starting out climbing trees for a company. I bought a tree motion saddle, and the boss said the whole thing looks unsafe.
He's got the old fashion leather kind, and had some concerns with mine.
So, I was curious if you guys could pitch in some advice before I climb with it or send it back. All I've read on the saddle is good... but here are his concerns:
Rope bridge - Doesn't trust how it's secured by knots
Rings - Made of alluminum, and too small, fear of breaking
Doesn't like having to use rope grabs, says sinches are safer
Buckles that connect the waist harness and leg harnesses are too small
Thanks for any advice, would like to stay safe up there!
