Re: Which is More Dangerous?
Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:53 pmDown is much harder and much more difficult.
When I first started climbing we couldn't afford to leave gear behind on rappell, so we always down-climbed routes. Let me tell you, it really made us better climbers.
I used to free-solo multi-pitch routes as hard as 5.7, and almost always down-climbned the route.
