Tinker,

I think you have the message a little mixed-up. The warning is not to use the winch cable as a tow strap. Assisting the winch by driving up a rock wall is not just common sense, but many times, is necessary so the winch cable doesn't attempt to pull the Jeep into the rock ledge but over the top of the rock.
