Abstract
⺠Any climber is in danger of losing grip on the substrate. ⺠Pulling on the substrate is required at some critical steepness (slope angle). ⺠Particularly, the climber's height above substrate determines this critical angle. ⺠Cockroaches climb at such heights that allow a most sensitive increase of critical steepness.
