I connected to it as thought I was going on a Big Wall Rap (had everything on me). I used both the BD ATC and the DB ATC Guide, I almost could not stop myself!! I tied a super munter hitch to my carabineer and that was better. If I go with a 8-9mm rope, would a rescue rack or a piranha work better for a nice rappel?
You could not go wrong with a piranha; its beauty is that you can add any amount of friction you need "on the fly." BTW, how do you build your anchors?
