yo-yo style

A type of ascent in which you lead a climb until you fall. After the fall you lower to the ground or the last no-hands rest and start to climb again, leaving the rope in the last protection point. This ascent style has its origin in the US and is now rarely used. Also called 'red circle' (Rotkreis). Compare also to 'all free' and 'Ground up red point'.
