That's also my approach unless I can clearly see that there are no issues. That does however leave the less experienced party to deal with any unexpected issues at the top. I once in NZ had my less experienced partner, after removing the backup (which was taking no weight) to our snowstake anchor and weighting the rope, see the snowstake move dramatically and almost pull out. Instead of getting their weight off the rope, which was possible, and replacing the backup, they continued down the abseil and arrived gibbering. |
