I would add the alpine butterfly to haul stuff up or isolate/exclude compromised parts of the rope temporarily until you get to safety.

Definitely, it’s such a satisfying knot to tie too. And after that perhaps the figure 8 on 2 bights (bunny ears).

But then we are into the weeds…

alpine butterfly is by far the knot I use the most.
