We're spurring up and down poles like that all the time, just as easy as breathing mate. It only took about a minute, so hardly worth breaking out ascenders.

The deeper the face cut, the more slack gets induced

Yes still on the wrench. It falls through the hitch on its own above 40ft, with the aid of a chest attachment of some kind, as pointed out to me by Dmc a year ago (thanks Dave). But the rope was quite pitchy from the limbing, so the base tie-off made sure it ran smoothly.
