    In 2015, the owners of Medicine Wall took drastic measures and closed the crag to the public. They stripped all of the hardware from the wall and local climbers lost a beloved climbing resource. Learn how Access Fund and TCC opened it back up. https://www.accessfund.org/latest-news/what-does-it-take-to-reopen-a-closed-crag

    Last weekend I took a couple friends to the local crag for their first time out. Since I was the only one able to clean, others led and set the anchor, but on occasion if the leader were unable to reach the anchors, I would set the anchor and belayed the others up from the top using a grigri. That worked pretty well, though I'm aware that Petzl doesn't recommend using the grigri in such a manner (a redirected belay is preferred.) I did notice that the DMM Pivot set up in guide/auto-blocking mode had a dedicated method for lowering — using a second biner to adjust the angle of the device. Are there concerns with doing so for lowering a second climber all the way to the ground? Whenever lowering is mentioned, it's always in the context is lowering the second "a few feet" or so.
