My line snapped on a 12-foot chimney rebuild yesterday, dropped a whole course. What's your go-to for high work?

A buddy of mine had a similar scare on a three-story job last fall. He swears by using two separate lines now for anything over ten feet, a main one and a backup safety. He clips his level to a dedicated tool line too, so it's not hanging off his belt. That extra minute setting up the second line saved a whole pallet of bricks from hitting the ground. It feels like overkill until your main line gives out.

Sounds like a lot of extra rope to me.
