Re: How Fast Can you Safely Climb?

I could see a team that runs into the touchpad and continues running their winch until one of two things happens:
They burn out their motors

OR

Their gearing is reduced enough that they yank the retaining knot of their rope through the davit and fall to the ground.

Teams should plan on having a way to stop climbing when they reach the top that doesn't consist of stalling motors.
