as long as your using a dynamic rope, i suppose that youd be ok, just dont take falls toward the top and dont let your rope extend over sharp edges. and i would use a beefy rope. its not the best method, especially if your taking many falls, which you said you were staying well within your range, so i assume your not. you dont need a silent partner. thats an expensive piece of gear. and designed for lead climbing solo. you can get by with multiple units, that cost way less. i have been using the petzl Rescuescender, and it works great. i have the end of the rope slightly weighted and the device glides smoothly along the rope. ive been using it since i first started climbing, and consider it one the best buys ive had
