In a single pitch scenario, with a belay coming from the ground either to a leader or a top roping climber, we can still end up with an injured climber on the wall who needs medical attention or assistance getting down. The pick off gets us up to the climber and gets both of us back down again. Here is the process for getting ready to ascend on a plaquette device, and the full video gets into full the rescue and lowering procedure.
