A bit of stretch in a srt system can be worked to the climbers' advantage, especially on long straightforward ascents. Get the timing right, and ascend on the upward bounce in the rope; you get a little bit of boost on each bounce.
I might descend on it a time or three before whipping the end...as much of the full length as you can arrange. Full body weight will pull on the sheath more strongly than you ever could just milking with your hands or a hitch while standing on the ground.
