So, do you switch to a linesman belt to swap it out, then back to the ground length tether to rappel?

Seems like you have been a little lucky. I sent @g2outdoors a message about his setup and I think he is going with the pulley because twice this year he had to climb back up to retrieve his rope. I know he is using Samson Ultra Tech.I'm using 9mm Ultra-tech and haven't had a problem with the rope pulling thru the biner. The only friction seems to be where the rope wraps around the tree. Some trees are easier but have never been hung up. Do you guys think it's a difference in rope or have I just been lucky?
That's good to know. Might be worth adding one.Seems like you have been a little lucky. I sent @g2outdoors a message about his setup and I think he is going with the pulley because twice this year he had to climb back up to retrieve his rope. I know he is using Samson Ultra Tech.

I'm not really sure. I'm no expert. I am planning on using a separate tether from my rapelling rope.View attachment 2114 Could you use this to replace the prussic in Cedar Pauls setup and flip it over to then use it as a pulley for rope retrieval .Would this be a safe tether attachment. I have not tried rappelling but am going to practice this spring.

another option might be to put a solid ring instead of a pulley. it would eliminate the stress on a biner in weird direction and eliminate the clatter of the pulley against the biner as you pull it down. I haven't tried it yet, but the friction should be a lot less than the rope loop alone. If you splice the end of your rope, you could splice the solid ring directly into the rope loop, or buy it with a loop already spliced and add the petzl ring afterward.
just a thought.
