It's more common that you'd have to haul a second for a few moves, than have to escape the belay.
To tie off second:- You can put a stopper knot well below the ATC and pull a bit of slack through the ATC, then hold on to the rope below the redirect and tie it off in a slippery hitch.
To hau:- sit down on ATC while puling up on the rope from redirect to second |
