The rope was going from my harness to the top anchor back to me where it went trough a grigri2 connected with a steel biner to my harness and as i climbed i used my free hand to pull the slack from the system.

In climbing or mountaineering the rope team offers the highest level of safety.

Some climbers hang a second rope alongside the first and clip into bights pre tied in the backup rope in case the primary rope or belay device fails.
I like the camp lift which has no rope grabbing teeth and clamps down on the rope between two plates.
