A hitchhiking method should be used to climb with a WPFR device. Is this statement true or false?

The statement is true because the hitchhiking method is a specific climbing technique designed for use with wrist or body fall protection devices, such as a WPFR (Whole-Body Personal Fall Restraint) device. This technique allows for a more secure and controlled ascent, as it utilizes the fall protection equipment to maintain safety close to the climbing surface while enabling movement upward.

Using a hitchhiking method enables the climber to keep their fall protection system engaged and reduces the risk of unintentional falls, ensuring that they can navigate their way up a structure safely. Additionally, this method enhances the climber's ability to maneuver while correctly using the fall protection system.

Other options may suggest varying degrees of risk or appropriateness, but in standard climbing practices with WPFR devices, the hitchhiking method is essentially the recommended approach for safe climbing.
