New to the saddle game but have spent countless hours practicing this offseason. I've tried several friction hitches on my tether/rappel line and am leaning towards a distel or schwabisch. 2 Questions:
1. Does anyone simply slide down their friction hitch to use as autoblock when rappelling? I am currently using a figure 8.
2. If you do not slide it down, has anyone had a problem with their hitch getting stuck in the delta link, making it extremely difficult to pull rope down at end of rappel. Thanks in advance,
