Mar 31, 2022 at 15:12 comment added Manziel I do not know. I know that it is a technique that is presented in magazines of various alpine clubs, but fortunately I have not seen anyone needing to to it yet. However, as written in the answer, I have some doubts about practical application for amateurs. That looks more like a technique for mountain guides, as they do not really have the option of going unroped in potentially dangerous terrain. This is basically filling the same gap as short-roping in a situation where short-roping is not really applicable
Mar 30, 2022 at 18:23 comment added ahron Many thanks for the very useful answer (especially the last line). The technique of jumping to the other side - is this something people actually do, or is it just something to talk about in training programs and write in answers? Maybe it is more of an instinctive throw in the towel technique to be aware of. Because I don't think one can reasonably practice this.
