This is my first year, full-time saddle hunting. I've made some adjustments and changed a few things along the way. I have the method 2, use 2/3 sticks, with a 3 step aider on bottom and a 2 step aider on 2nd stick. I also recently started utilizing my rappel rope as a bow pull up rope, which made me want to also use it as a tether while climbing. So my question is, does anyone climb with just a tether because I have not figured out how to hang sticks on just my tether without my linesman. I know both the linesman and tether used in conjunction is the safest but was curious if anyone climbs with just a tether? Second question is about rappelling. I utilize a figure 8 and move my schwabisch hitch down to my linesman to use as a autoblock/brake. Anyone else have problems with their autoblock getting close to their figure 8? Is there a way to make sure this does not happen. Any help is greatly appreciated.
