PICS of New Harness and Climbing Setup

I tried that too.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out the beeline angle as well. And what you would need sliced eyes for on a bridge? I just make my rope bridge out of a length of safety blue that I cut off of the tail of my line. Works great!

the knots take up too much room and I find it annoying.

Beeline knots down with a scaffold knot pretty small. A carabiner or screw link will take more space than a double scaffold. Triple is barely more space, but offers better confidence in safety.

Got tired of lugging around the trusty old Weaver 2D.. Invested in KOMET's Butterfly II Saddle and some new goodies from Sherrill..... I posted on ******** and have been getting alot of feedback on the ISC snap. Seems alot of people are having these open or "roll out" on them, anyone else experience this problem?

Seems like this will be a nice step up from the traditional tail tied method I was using and heavy (but durable) Weaver saddle. The webbing on the lanyard took a good 15 minutes to work onto the rope, but I think it will be worth it in the long haul. I will probably cut off a longer length of Arbormaster for a longer lanyard (I typicaly only purchase 120ft and got the 150 this time with that in mind). The ART positioner is pricey but after much research it fit my needs perfectly, plus I like being able to make my own lanyards and changing them out to a longer length takes less than one minute. OMG the slack tender is so nice! Those who arent using a micro pulley should go out and buy one today.. New school ftw!

I have been using ISC snaps like them alot no problems yet with them.I use a 2in1 laynard and color coded them grey on one side black on the other.Helps eliminate confussion.

I just hate big clunky snaps. I use a small captive eye carabiner on my 18 ft flipline.

I just like the way this snap feels in my hand. Nice action and smooth operation. To each his own tho

To the original poster, nice setup, climb on a B-fly myself and haven't had any issues with it or reason to switch to anything else, including my bro's ergovation.

To those with b-fly bridge isues, I run the original bridge with a second bridge made of 1/2 hi-vi ran through the shackles and double fish stopper knots tied on both ends. You have two bridges if you want to double crotch using two climbing lines or whatever and you can tie into both for extra security.

I also use that same snap to terminate my flipline, and haven't had any issues.

About the Art flipline cam, I haven't used that exact one but have a Spiderjack and have used other cam flipline adjusters and prefer a prussic knot variation due to the fact that they don't allow the flipline to adjust on it's own while it is hanging slack. I guess "backtending" is what I would call it.

As far as the saw lanyard, I use a break away bungee but with a ring and locking biner instead of that dogsnap. I wouldn't trust that to keep my saw hanging for a full removal. I used to have a screw locking biner but lost my saw twice to it and have since switched to a triple lock and haven't had any problems.

Good luck and money well spent.
