I know a lot of people just set up a 3 to 1 hauling system.
A really good friend of mine was a full blown wall ape back in the 80's and once did 4 grade VI El Cap routes in just under 28 days in response to a painful breakup with a girlfriend. He would lead a pitch, rap to the anchor below, put the haul bag on his back, and jug and clean the pitch wearing his haul bag. He did all this wearing just his sandals.
I guess my point is that space hauling and jugging a loaded haul line are two different things. I should also qualify that when you are space hauling you are not attached to the "load" side of the haul device. My whole point was don't jug loaded haul lines. In other words, stay off of the bag end of the system.
Don't roll your eyes, somebody recently died doing just that in Zion.
