Just to be perfectly clear on this one

## LOWERING THE FINAL CLIMBER DIRECTLY THROUGH THE REPLACEABLE FIXED HARDWARE (eg. maillons, twist shakles etc) IS FINE ##

Although as discussed, abseiling off where practical is preferable.

What Mitch was chastising Linze for was for the climber top-roping directly through the hardware. Eg. The first climber up the climb then fed the rope directly through the fixed hardware and the subsequent climbers top-roped directly through it.
