Rams Horns are awesome! But can you climb above them? Well, kinda yes kinda no. If the horns are at equal elevation, I consider it nowhere near as risky as climbing above mussy hooks, but there is still some chance of one of them unlooping if the rope comes taught from above, and the horn pins, then the rope is slacked, then the stars align and that all happens again to the the other ram’s horn. In this case, you should consider purchasing a lotto ticket. If the horns are offset (different elevations) then it is a hard NO for me. Offset rams horns are a very poor anchor design and have led to several accidents. Even worse are pigtails with a wider/looser turn radius of a larger opening. Avoid placing those and consider replacing them. If you want to climb above the anchors, might as well just do it on the draws, then clean the anchor after.
