I've reached a point after a year and half of occasional climbing that I
feel I need a new saddle. One that will not be so hard on my back, but
I have feeling it's the nature of the business. I have been using a Weaver
wide back saddle with butt strap with modifications to ease the pain on
my hips. I'm a small thin guy over 50. That has helped my hips but not my back I can spike up a TD tree with my lanyard but it kills my back the
next day. Any advice is most welcome and believe it or not, I want to do
this in my semi-retirement years. Did all kinds of sports when I was
younger and so I'm still fairly physically fit. I read something about the
TreeMotion saddle at Sherrill but the picture of it does not have me con-
vinced. Thanks for any recommendations!
