Many in fact, 

 1 might say nearly 

 all cliff-climbers, 

 when making their 

 first descent, in- 

 stead of stepping 

 boldly over and 

 trusting to their 

 ropes, instinctively 

 clutch and cling to 

 the face of the crag, 

 as shown in our il- 

 lustration on p. 24, 

 and invariably lose 

 a liberal amount 

 of skin from their 

 knees and elbows 

 upon sharp pro- 

 jections of rock as 

 they go. Of course, 

 to the man who is 

 looking on, espe- 

 cially from the bot- 

 tom, it looks a 

 comparatively easy 

 matter, but it is 



THE RIGHT WAY TO DESCEND.
