To descend from the top of a vertical rock, which standard and safest technique will climbers use?

The hospital where I trained as a nurse was affiliated to the Australian army. Some nurses where sent to participate in Outward Bound ( part of the Duke of Edinburgh award) I was fortunate enough to be selected during my training and learned to abseil. I've since done it for charity three times.( In England) Down the Marks and Spencer building in Knaresborough, down the Knaresborough viaduct and down the How Stean gorge near Pateley Bridge. All places in North Yorkshire. Good fun after you take that first step over the edge.

Nix, 😄

jumping is also a safe way to descend. stopping at the bottom is the only issue

Another thing that I have always wanted to do and will do, before I die.

I’m quite certain that is a photo of a group of climbers during the 4th of July atop Independence Rock located in the Colorado national monument near Grand Junction Colorado
