I haven't done this type of rap with a biner block before so I have a couple of questions.

So you have a biner tied to the rap rope to stop it pulling through the anchor. I am curious about when you pull the tag line, you will have a biner flying down at you from 50m above. Is this much of an issue, you really wouldn't want it smacking you in the head. Plus the biner would get a bit trashed, so I am guessing you must use a biner designated for this purpose and not for normal use.

I did Bunny Bucket recently with two single ropes and the extra weight really sucked. Especially on the top head wall where the line was quite straight and no rope drag, two times 50m of rope hanging off my harness on lead was really heavy by the end of the long pitch. I was really wishing we had doubles, but I like the sound of rapping with a skinny tag line. A bit cheaper option I suppose than buying double rope.
