Thanks! Yeah, the downclimb is often harder, something that gets many people into trouble, including me once or twice. I try to follow a simple rule: before I free solo any move I have to study or think about, I also check (and test) if I can safely go back down it first. When I remember to do that, things are usually okay!

Interesting As UsualCareful out there, Bob. I always worry about the downclimb after getting to a place where you don't want to go any further.
