Just starting to one stick and rappel, currently using a tether to get up and then swapping to rappel rope to come down. If I use a Beal Birdie or GriGri would an auto block attached to the saddle be sufficient back up for it. Thanks in advance.
 
I use my repell rope as my tether with a distel hitch to climb then when ready to come down install my birdie above the hitch and slide the hitch to my lineman loop
