In reply to Dandelion:
Depends what you're doing, what your objectives are:
Redpointing or attempting to flash something I'll push on. I usually call down to warn my belayer I'm flagging a bit.
If I'm working a route I'll climb down, use other holds, grab the quickdraw, slump on the rope, fall... whichever is easiest.
If I'm doing back to back routes for training then I'll occasionally cheat past stopper moves, it's the mileage I'm after anyway.
There's nothing wrong with learning to push on and risk a fall when it's safe to do so. If you have difficulty deciding when objectively how safe you really are then that's what I'd suggest you spend your time on rather than developing an aversion to climbing hard above your gear.
