I feel like I've heard mixed things on if your using an all fifi if your also bringing a petzl evolv adjust. Maybe depends? I'd like to hear more experienced thoughts.

Here is what I do!

I have the petzl dual tethers on my harness, but most of the time don't use them, but use them as my ladder clipping spot so I always know where to grab.
When I move to sketchy aid/tiny hooks etc, Ill clip one of my daisies to a ladder in case the piece blows. Then once it's more secure I'll clip it back to the front of the harness and carry on with daisy-less aiding. Maybe if it get better at hard aid then i can remove the daisies altogether but ive blown pieces and had my ladder dangling below me on the daisy.

I use the alfifi on almost every move throughout this whole process.

Having the Petzl dual adjust is really nice for when adjusting on the 2-1 haul system, as well as micro adjustments when jugging/following. Also nifty at anchors to reposition myself and get comfortable etc.

The best way to figure out what works for you, is to try it and see what you like or don't.

I'm sure everyone has their own thoughts. I found watching Olly's videos helpful as he use daul adjust with alfifi climbing Neptune:

I have used this setup all season and loved it. I almost never use the petzl for aiding unless it's too steep to easily release the alfifi, it's difficult traversing or I need to do a simple bodyweight test. The main reason I love the petzl is it has held up to factor 2 falls, with the cord replaced I trust this to hold my life when rapping or doing anchor shenanigans.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
