... whether downclimbing was an option. Downclimbing slab sucks: if you slip (and you will), you'll finish the downclimb sliding face- and palms-down along dirty basalt. This can't be good. Peter was down there, but I ... get tired -- but I couldn't bring myself to make the move, and there was no way to downclimb the slab that wasn't identical with falling. When I try to make that final move, I didn't ...
