There are times when either scenario is plausible. Sometimes you are right on the verge of being able to get up something and all the winch is really doing is maintaining forward progress and keeping you from slipping back. That would have prevented Gene's flop last year. Other times, you are NOT going up under your own power and the winch needs to do the vast majority of the work.
If you are going to "help" the winch out, BE SURE that you do not shock load the cable. That means that if you are not making steady progress without repeatedly allowing slack in the winch cable, don't help.
