Thanks for the response, bill.
If ascending the rope I would absolutely back up the plate either via a mule knot or tying off the rope.
If in assessing the situation I see that I'll immediately need to hoist my second, I won't waste time tying a mule knot (though I may tie off the rope in some way shape or form) and throw on a prussik / kleimheist, etc., and begin hoisting.
Okay if I drink coffee instead of tea?
Cheers.

...Which wouldn't be a lie, but I won't mention the sharp edge in question was replaced to my pocket after the rope parted.
