Dont worry about that thing D, its just another way for them to get into our pockets, thats all.

If your burning up that many hitch cords, then I'd suggest simply going a little slower. Of course I havent really gotten to climb with the new stuff much yet...so I suppose I'm not the best judge. Is it really that easy to burn those things??

If you are using friction hitches with a doubled rope to come down, even though you are burning through the friction hitches, they are still probably your best option. They are inexpensive, easily replaced and pretty bomb proof. If you are coming down single rope, you might want to try a rack or a Q8 like Wesspur sells.

I have been using single rope alot because I now have a tool that is capable of doing so. And I must say, it's kind of fun.

You are not limited to just using single rope with the Uni. It also does doubled rope really well. I just don't think it is as well suited as hitches for long fast descents. That is not utilizing the properties that you are paying the big bucks for, which is a versatile ascender/descender combo.
