Hi, i have a question about using a figure 8.. I got an aluminum one without ears and i hooked a single 1/2 in line onto my door just to try it out but it seems like it is really hard to hold myself i wrapped it around the 8 just like it says to but it seems like there is way not enough friction. When decending with a figure 8 should i throw my line over a crotch and use both sides or just tie it in at the top and use the single line with a friction hitch + figure 8. I am totally new to using an 8 so any advice you have for me would be great. THanks
