> usually do this on free hanging rappels, but sometimes the extra friction can be too much on low angle ones.

GET ONE OF THESE ASAP...PLEASE.

Prussics made out of cord bind up like mad when they lock up, and won't even grab the rope if the cord they're made out of is too stiff. Hollow blocks will grab something even as smooth as a PVC pipe, but release with very little pressure, giving you complete control over the amount of friction they provide.

For what it's worth, these things are freeking fantastic as an autoblock. I've not tried them for ascending, but it's delightful for rappelling.

Made from aramid so it doesn't heat up or melt when you rap with it. Rectangular so you get more friction from fewer raps w/ an auto lock.

Personal anchors are cool. This is my favorite because it's nylon so shock loading it doesn't generate as much force.
