How are you both breaking the hitch above it and controlling the lever while descending, while controlling the tail with your other hand? Or are you only doing that when you're at your hunting height and using the rappel rope as a tether? Or if you're using the hitch on your descent with the GriGri Plus, are you inch worming down by descending and then moving the hitch, the descending and moving the hitch again, repeatedly?I love the gri gri plus and I keep a long schwabisch hitch tied above it. It allows a great safety back up as well as a positioning alternative if I ever chose to stay on my climbing line for a tether.
I've thought about running a hitch above my safeguard on descent, but I don't have a third arm.
