It depends on the robot.

3773 in the picture shown took a long time to get down because it swung around a lot while climbing. I think it got stuck inside of the pyramid. There was one match they needed to get a ladder for to get them down.

4819 was another robot that climbed for 30 points every match, and it took maybe a minute to use the belay system.

Robots that climbed for 10 were usually just lifted off of the pyramid without the use of the belay system.
