New to the sitdrag (well. to all of this really) and wondering if people climb using both a linesman's belt on the sitdrag as well as a tether connected to a rock climbing harness at the same time. It seems like some folks are just using the sitdrag/linesman's belt when climbing, then tying a tether into a RC harness when reaching the platform.
I don't feel comfortable relying on the sitdrag/linesman's belt as my sole protection. Doesn't seem like the sitdrag was designed for this purpose. On the other hand, I'd feel much more comfortable if I was only tied in with a tether and RC harness (but climbing would be difficult in that case).
So it seems to me that using both types of protection at the same time is a necessary but burdensome way to ensure safety while climbing. What do you think?
