ART positioner Vs ISC etc

[vduben]

its all so nice when your chogging down to have your rope on the lower d's and your wire strop on your higher d's, then the lower rope naturally falls lower and personally feels safer

[DrewB]

Are you talking about the lower "d" attachment points?

 

I use them in preferance to the traditional D's. I find the work position much more comfortable

 

same here. its what makes the harness so comfortable and different to others

[Peter]

I use the lower dees almost exclusively

[i cant stand the isc type micro grab thingys, impossible to adjust one handed, general pain in the neck.

 

Not really used the art positioner, tried it briefly and found it a bit too on/off for comfort.

 

Now using a trango cinch with 10mm line, super smooth on doubled and single lines, very easy to use, very reliable.

 

Ohhh, I like it.

The lower rings you discuss make for a more comfortable work position IMO, however, I fear you may find wear on the webbing is increased in this set up. Time will tell hopefully and it is just a theory.

My webbing is not wearing at that point an sI too use the lower attachment almost exclusivley, its what sets the TM apart from every other harness and makes for some otherwise impossible work positions.

 

The Trango cinch is one of those few items of gear that does every part of its job perfecty in every possible set up. Superb!

 

I had a positioner before and its ok but not perfect at everything. Moicro grabs are by far inferior to everything including friction hitches.

I wouldnt say that the lower 2nd point of attachment is what sets the saddle apart by any means...I have 2 bridges on my butterfly and find that this is also very adaptable for work position as the lanyard can be terminated in a position other than the side D's...I think that I am fed up with the rope and knot set up I have tho and want a change..a cinch maybe.....I am not convinced by the swivel positioner.....got a mind of its own an' that'll never do!!

I agree Tim, I have a rigging paw on the bridge of my cheap and cheerful sequioa and that allows for more options than needed.

One main anchor and two choked lanyards from one point or two top anchors and a single lanyard

 

More typically I would have one main anchor, one choked lanyard and the chainsaw all from the same point. Comfy.

 

Add a hitchclimber into the mix on the main line/s the options just become ridiculous.

Yeah but, no but, you still have to move the lanyard into that central position as required.
