Hex wrote with much perspicacity. "It amazes me that people do (and are taught to do this !) --- walking back-wards over the edge of a cliff, (to get established on the rope-proper/easy-slide-down), only puts ya teeth at risk if ya feet slip-out from under ya --- much better to grovel on ya guts until ya get past the cliff-edge --- not very ass-thetic, but a lot easier on dabrain ..." Couldn`t agree more. I am part of the grovel brigade. I also teach new climbers and abseilers that there is no shame in grovelling over the edge. I teach them to either grovel somewhat or do a bit of a downclimb type thing paying attention to both their feet and their rope hand.
