I’m just getting into this whole game and saw some vids on DRT climbing... looks awesome for trees with limbs/crotch, but not sure about aspens and such with no limbs. So I figured since I need a platform anyways, I’d get a lone wolf hand climber and use it to climb smooth, limbless aspens and as my platform too- two birds with one stone. Stupid me didn’t realize this used old lone wolf climber I got is the old v shaped version made of metal - no traction belt. Is there any slick mods you guys know of or can think of to rig up a traction belt? I suppose it works as is, but if I’m climbing and the tree tapers with height, I have to bend down (while dangling from my harness) and unscrew the two thumb bolts (and probably drop them 20’ down in the process) take out the metal V, reposition it and screw it back together - very inconvenient and loud.
