I have used a prussik and guide mode on a weighted rope when fallen and free hanging
Attach prussik with foot loop, slide up and step into it,
Attach personal sling(pas, draw ect) to prussik,
Sit into it and thread atc into the system,
Stay tied in whilst doing so. That way you have a backup to the prussik whilst seting up the system


Or did you mean the rope below is weighted?
