Greg Good recently sent me the
"Tree Magic 11" saddle.
Overall this saddle is light weight and seems to be fairly consistant in design with my b-fly.
One of the first details I noticed was the adjustable back. this is a strap that tightens on the back of the back pad. I always had my b-fly (and other saddles as well) slip down my hips when slinging around a bigger saw. With this adjustment the saddle seems to 'stick' better on my hips without tightening the main belt to the point of cutting into my hips.
The amount of adjustments you can do to this saddle is amazing, you can adjust the adjustments.
Someone counted the amount of gear loops I dont remember the amount but you can hang whatever you want wherever you want.
The leg straps are real comfortable.
This saddle is black with chrome colored hardware. Almost carbon fiber looking.
I guess the future of our climbing gear is leaning toward black and silver.
So lets see, the well equipped climber should have the:
Tree Magic saddle $300.
Carbon fiber spurs$400.
Single line attachment (ascender, pulley etc) $200.
Velocity or Blaze 120' $100.
Static 14,000 7/16" single line for climbing $200.
ms200T or ms192T $350.-$450.
Silky 'ibuki' $75.00
misc. karibs & prussik cord $100.
Did I forget anything?
jeez I am up to $1825.00 for just the basics
Climbing has become a high dollar occupation!
