descending on a figure of eight

[Arran Turner]

Having trouble working out where abouts to place my figure of eight for descend out of larger trees/ rec climbs , anyone got any ideas/ pictures? Im on a hitch climber and want to leave it on as a failsafe

Think its either one or the other,Why are you not confident descending on either alone?

Dont know about the HC but if my blakes starts getting jumpy i'll just put the 8 on the tail . Smooths everything out . Descending with the 8 on the standing part i back it up with a very short klemheist on my side D , bearing in mind the side D's not life support . The klemheist automatically locks the figure 8 and it would undoubtedly be life support realistically

Plenty confident on both, just thought that having a failsafe would be sensible just trying to preserve cord/ have a little fun when descending (More emphasis on the fun part:thumbup:)
