Has anyone made the switch to a rock climbing harness over the traditional full body harness? I think I am going to make the switch. I really like the thought of falling facing the tree and suspension trauma is not an issue with them.
I suppose if you do it right you should never fall lower than your platform but the thought of what would happen if you could not get back on your stand / steps. I think it would be hard to maneuver with your back against tree with all your weight on rope. I hope I never have to find out but it seems the rock climbing harness would be the ticket plus they are smaller and lighter to pack.
What are your thoughts??
