I'd speculate that it was intended to be used as a rap station after climbing Conifer Crack or Wyrd, as an alternative to the walk-off, given that it is positioned exactly 30m up from the next ledge, and it is off the side of the route, in a position that would unnecessarily force a hanging belay if you tried to use it for that. You couldn't lower off it with a 60m rope, as the climb to reach the anchor is longer than the rappel directly below it. |
