Free or it is also considered as ethical, an ascent has to be done without hanging in one's harness using a leash, fifi hook, or clipped rope to rest on the tools. This means that the climber relies only on his own strength. Using wrist loops to help holding the tools is permitted, as well as clipping a tool for protection, as long as you don't hang from it.
