How do you connect to the rock harness when using a sitdrag?

[ztrumble]

Title pretty much says it all. I have a sit drag system setup the way G2 Outdoors explains in his videos. But how do you incorporate a rock harness for backup?

I have a rock harness and I see how you could easily attach it with a prusik to the tag of the tether once at hunting height, but how do you use it with a lineman's belt while climbing? What do you connect it to and how?

Thanks

Sounds like your rock harness does not have linesman's loops. You may be able to work around this if your harness has a loop that is weight-rated. You can run some webbing through that loop and tie off at 9 oclock and 3 oclock on your waist and use that to attach your lineman's belt. Look up DIY Sportsman's youtube videos, his videos are much better at explaining this.

Do you mean attaching to the tether?

I use climbing rated webbing and have it through the loops with Loop's tied on the ends.

Has anyone tried sewing the webbing to the back of the RC to hold it in place?

so your lineman belt is attached to a loop of Webbing around your body and not to the sitdrag? And is that a rated loop on the back of the harness?

Correct, my lineman belt is attached to the rock climbing harness. I do not think that it is a rated Loop so my webbing is actually stitched to the rock climbing harness belt.

I either hook to my belay loop or to the LW extension strap I have threaded around my Petzl Corax, depending on climbing method.
