Very smooth. I don't miss those 2 nylon biner rollers I used on the flat bridge of my 11 yr old Bucky Traverse as my avator shows. When I first looked at this cougar at my Vermeer dealer I wasn't interested in it. I guess the low price put me off. The salesmen said try it on. He had a dynamic rope with biners and splittail permanently attached to the ceiling. After doing a little footlock with the Cougar I threw him my Mastercard.Very responsive with the pulley eh?
I've looked at the TM and other fancy saddles devoloped by "pro climbers" and to me they honestly look like junk with features I would never use.
Funny I read this because I just used my new Weaver Cougar for the 1st time today. Like Stephen I use a pulley too. Mine's a CMI mouse micro pulley with 2 holes where I attach my 2 biners attached to a Blakes splittail and spliced end of my rope.
I really like this quality saddle and the price well under $300 is also amazing. I've looked at the TM and other fancy saddles devoloped by "pro climbers" and to me they honestly look like junk with features I would never use.
I like the story about the Weaver Cougar being hand built by Amish craftsmen from Ohio.
With 3 or more broken bridges and climbers falling, weaver does not have their collective shit together on this one...
Much more responsibility lies with the individual climber than the manufacturer. High mod bridges are not a good idea, and if used need DAILY inspection, and frequent replacement. It is up to the user to understand the limitations of the equipment they purchased on their own.
Gear does wear out, some quicker than others.
