6:51 onwards as an example of a cleated off dead stop where the climber does everything. But there's nothing stopping the groundsman controlling the tail from the floor. Except it jars with everything we're used to.

Id say there is more potential for the lines to get crossed or pinched, making for a very sudden stop, then hard to add or remove a wrap if its too heavy/light? Also, if you have already rigged out the brush with a high point, porty set up at the base, just crack on moving the block or ring down as you go. But Id say alot of the reason is us being Magpies.

Alother thought, rope weight going up to the porty at the cut could significantly affect how a wrap functions, adding another complication. 

I do like yo yo rigging though. Perfect length line so the tail is back to you as the piece hits the ground.
