  1. Actually with a hitchclimber type setup you woul be able to set up the same mechanical advantage but with less friction. The I'd adds more friction than a pulley, so it would be lighter for you. Not ideal but have you tried clipping the biner of the terminated end directly into the biner of the I'd? I use that sometimes on my Grillion for positioning in rope access. Not ideal by any means but feels like less clutter at the harness
  2. Hello there, I'm pretty new to arborist work and come from a background of 15+ years of rope access work. The I'd is far from ideal for DRT. With the I'd taking only half the body weight and part of your weightt on your feet/limb, you'll be engaging the "emergency" brake all the time. Even using it single rope in a tree is a hassle because you're hardly every truly hanging full weight in it. Like working on a slightly inclined roof. Just get a prussik and a pulley and you'll be set. Good luck Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
