1957 R. W. Clark & E. C. Pyatt Mountaineering in Brit. xvi. 237 A layback is almost as tiring in descent as in ascent. If the leader's arms give out he cannot retreat, and has to fall off.

1968 P. Crew Encycl. Dict. Mountaineering 77 Layback, a method of climbing cracks and flakes by gripping the edge with the hands, leaning back and placing the feet flat on the rock at the side of the crack and slightly below the hands. As the climber pulls on the edge of the crack and presses his feet against the rock, the opposing pressures exerted can be sufficient to support the body.
