Swapped my climbing harness to a different brand and it threw off my whole rope technique
After 4 years on a Petzl I grabbed a DMM harness on a whim and the balance points are totally different. Has anyone else switched brands and had to relearn your srt setup?

Yeah, "the balance points are totally different" is exactly what I ran into. Switched from a Petzl to a Black Diamond last year and my SRT was a mess for weeks. Felt like I was constantly leaning wrong or fighting the harness to get comfortable. It's not just the rope work either, your whole body position changes with the gear loop placement. Took me a solid month of climbing to feel normal again.

Gear loops shift more than most people realize, not just balance.
