Does anyone one stick climb with let’s say a JRB or WLR hitch and then rappel with a munter?

Not one sticking but early on I did some 2TC with a 40 foot length of canyon C-IV and a delta link and used a figure 8 with a Distel hitch above it. The rappel out went fine. I just found the delta link sort of fussy about dropping down and one time I assumed I could wiggle the delta link down without a pull-down rope and got in an extra practice climb for my troubles, lol. I just use straight 2TC now since I find the climb down as easy or easier than the climb up.

If I am going up a tree with limbs I use a locking carabiner in place of a delta link until I get to height then remove the biner and tie off with a running jrb hitch. If it is a light pole, I go up with the running jrb. I use a modified happy hands for my friction hitches and I always come down using a munter. I am not advocating anyone use a biner in place of a delta or quick link.
