It's a little thing, but getting both myself - and especially my kids - to transition into rappel systems faster can add up over many pitches. So, anything we can do to make it less likely to faff with ropes, our devices, or other gear, we'll take. Setting our third hand, autoblock hitch helps us manage the ropes and thread our rappel device more easily.
