Explanation:
Svi moji prijatelji koji se tako spuštaju, to tako i zovu. Detaljan opis na "Alpinističkoj kuharici":
http://www.chem.pmf.hr/~mduksi/ak1/#7

Ja bih kao germanist jedino potegnuo pitanje pravopisa/izgovora, jer bi to fonetski svučalo otprilike "apsajl"...

Inače, bilo bi dobro prevesti jednostavno kao "spustanje užetom" ili čak samo "spuštanje". Jasno je da se to radi po užetu, i to osiguranom prikladnom spravicom...
