Hi,

I’ve watched the following BMC Videos in preparation to going to Harrison's Rocks.

The videos talk about not lowering off the climbs so at to not put stress on the anchors/rocks.

These might be silly questions but...

1. What if the climber wants to hang for a while during the climb?
2. What if the climber can't finish the route and doesn't have the strength to down climb?

In both those situations sitting on the rope and being lowered is fine. It is just a plea to stop unnecessary lowering off when you have reached the top and have the option to walk down.

Thank you Alan.
