	This method is used for removing gear from a sport anchor, with a subsequent lowering of the lead climber. An alternative is to [[abseiling\|abseil]] from an anchor. For routes with no fixed protection at the anchor point (trad), you have either to leave some gear behind, or where it is appropriate and reasonably safe, use for example abseil with an equivocation hitch.
