Are you using the same cordelette for belay anchors and as a personal tether? As in you might lead a climb, use the cordelette to build an anchor with which to make yourself safe and belay up a second, and then take down that anchor, walk to a rappel station, and use the cordelette to tether yourself in while setting up the rappel?
Sounds like quite a good option, and eliminates the need for a separate, dedicated personal tether. Though I'd guess the length of a cordelette might make it slightly awkward to set up as a tether. |
