almost as easily...

The method of descending is called repellingg," a technique
widely used in mountain climbing circles. A belt with
a metal loop, or link, fits around the soldier' s waist.
The descend rope is secured at the top of the cliff,
and passed through the link. Then, the soldier steps off
in space.
in a short time, he is safe on terra-firma.

The soldier controls his rate of descent by gripping the
rope as it slides through his leather gloved hands.
