Clip-and-lower style anchors are commonly found at single pitch climbing areas. Statistics show us that using this type of anchor reduces accidents, and the ASCA has provided more than 24,000 Lower Offs for climbing areas nationwide.

Durable lower-off hardware at climbing anchors significantly reduces the risk of accidents by allowing for a fast, efficient, and safe descent without the need to untie or retie the lead line.

This capability to clip in and lower to descend and subsequently clean a route enhances the safety margin for climbers.

Lowering helps to prevent situations where a climber might inadvertently go off belay and minimizes the possibility of mistakes occurring while at the anchor, ultimately promoting a safer climbing experience overall.

This DOES NOT mean that lowering off climb is foolproof, and there is always potential to dangerously misconfigure your protection at an anchor.
