Really? Maybe you're doing it wrong. In guide mode you just need one hand to pull the rope through which i find easy on any of my ropes, single or double. This can leave you free to grab a drink or take a photo etc. It doesn't work for every belay stance as sometimes the anchor may be at your feet. Not sure why you would auto block just for harder stuff. |
