Geez rod.... At least I am addressing the issue rather then contributing nothing but noise . . . I find your suggestion that people just lower through the anchors and then when they are worn you just put a twisted shackle or two on as ridiculous, and simply creates a problem..... And I fail to see how transferring to rappel rather then lowering introduces so much extra danger, it's really not that different - you untie, reset the rope and then rap or lower. If there are mallions or shackles then sure go ahead and lower through them, but if it is just rings, then it is probably best to rap in order to avoid wear. Unfortunately the modern convenience climber generally doesn't give a shit, or finds it too difficult or dangerous to rap
