When aerotowing, is it more dangerous for the glider to pull way up,
pitching the towplane nose down, or pulling way down, pitching the
towplane nose up?

I would MUCH rather the glider got low.

A few years back a glider got too high and I found myself looking at the
ground with the stick right back, the airspeed increasing and the
altimeter unwinding.

Fortunately the rope broke and I had control again.
