P.S. regardless of whether SRT or DdRT, when I can't be fully 100% positively aware of whether a rigging rope may cross my climb line (like a natural-crotch rigging line near my SRT natural-crotched rope. even though I will check, they may be close and not fully 100% within view. A recent...

This makes sense in a way, and in another way is cheat against situational awareness. You must be aware of every rope in the tree. You don't want to burn any rope (access line, or climbing rope) with a moving rigging rope. I am just maintaining situational awareness over the whole climbing...
