Well, this thread seems to have finally petered out from exhaustion caused
by all the climbing.

So, back to the original, and appreciating all the responses as informative,
even if not responsive to the question, and raising other questions:

What would be the preferred MAST TOP harness (never mind how you get there)?
Various climbing harnesses seemed to me the best in terms of non-dumpability
(no upside-down adventures), but there seemed to be some question about
comfort, long term.

Looking forward to those with far more suspended experience than I...

Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
