Descend on a rope (6)

I believe the answer is:

abseil

(Other definitions for abseil that I've seen before include "come down quickly" , "Descend vertical slope using rope" , "Isabel (anag) - descend a cliff by rope" , "Descend down vertical surface using rope" , "Use ropes to climb down a cliff face" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
