I shorten up my bridge and run 8mm through a figure 8 to my schwebash hitch, which I clip to my right side lineman's loop. I control it with my right hand and have had great luck. My accessory cord is 5.5mm beal jammie cord from eastern woods.Any issues using a figure 8 or rescue 8?

I thought about doing a rescue 8 so I could lock off but this isn't necessary with the schwebash acting as an autoblock.
I simply tighten my bridge a bit, set my LB, transition my FH down the tether far enough to unclip it from my bridge and clip it to my LB loop, pull out my figure 8 and put it in the system and clip that to my bridge. I'm untethered for a bit, but I see this as being no more risky than climbing with just the LB.
