Whenever a fictional character has to climb without a rope or the likes he is bound to slip or grab a ledge that breaks off so he will be hanging on one hand. The character will then inevitably look down, take a deep breath and resume climbing. Bonus points if the climber is under attack or has to hurry. If this occurs in visual media, the camera will follow the falling rocks on their downward path, showing just how far the character would fall. Related to Plummet Perspective. Contrast Literal Cliff Hanger, which is about the hanging in general, while this is about the slipping.
