    This is my current setup, I appreciate its not a traditional setup but I can't get on with hitchclimber at the moment, mostly due to not having enough upper body strength, and find the option of having a 4 to1 advantage really useful especially when there are no lower limbs. I've had no problems getting slack with the ID, you have the option of using the button for temporarily overriding the safety as you would on slopes and I find it works fine, for a newbie I find this to be a easy and reassuring rig to work with. Anyway as you can see it wild benefit from having a spacer in between the two crabs on the bridge, I'm thinking of going with a rigging plate and attaching the crabs to that and the bridge so the plate just holds the crabs apart, also will give a few more attachment points for a bag line or maybe a gopro Thoughts?

    It can and it is, it's in the manual. But that's not really my question, does anyone with and kind of progress capture device use any method of keeping the free end of the rope away from the device?

    Nope it can do progress capture for accent too.

    Hi Everyone I am fairly new to climbing and am unsure about how to organise the equipment on my bridge, I am running DRT on a sequoia std with the free end of the rope and my Petzl ID clipped to the bridge on separate carabiners, I find that they snuggle up to each other too much and I have now used a second carabiner on the ID to give it a bit of room. My ideas so far have been to use a ring instead of the carabiner, use a rigging plate of some kind or the one I'm not sure about, clip the free rope end to the left ring and the ID either to the bridge or the right ring. It seems sensible that using the ring and the bridge might increase the load on the left ring, anyone know if this is the case or have the same problem and any other suggestions? Steve
