climbing question

[redrhodie]

I'd shift as I was descending, assuming there wasn't any flat bit in the middle I needed to power through.

That's what BF said, too! I'll try that next time.

I'd put it on after I stopped at the bottom and stood there cursing the wall and whosever idea it was for me to go down the stinking hill in the first place!

This is exactly what I did, down to the cursing! My initial thought was I'd have to walk back up, but I manually shifted, and rode out.
