This was absolutely true for the usual knots. I climbed some years with the knut. The best case in srt gave me a descent with the first pull down on the knot's top. But if I released the knot for a cut or just a bit to slow down, the top tightens and grabs hard the line. So hard that I wasn't...
Friction pads for sure.
At a cliff, you won't have to put 100 percent of your weight on the rope to get down.
You can always, very easily, make a friction device to add a la RW.
I'm feeling safer already:dude:
These areas and routes I have in mind, alot of them good climbers would simply free solo bc they are probably V1 or 5.7 but I'm way to elderly for highball boulders etc. Nobody wants to fall but especially us elder folks.
Here is a live video camera feed of the of the main feeding falls @vharrison . Check in periodically because the fish are late this year.

1-2’ falls if you are in a position to tend slack. You might be on the rock and need to make a move or two before you can get comfortable enough to tend your device. Or you could use a GIBBS on a vertical line. It was made for fall arrest with ease of tending vertically.
