這い降りる
http://yourei.jp/這い降りる

通学路は800mの断崖絶壁! 自力で這い降りる子供たちの窮状を救え (with picture of descending a cliff face by old wooden ladder)
https://courrier.jp/news/archives/54351/
  Comments:
added kanji form, ordered by ngrams. put more-literal "crawl down" as the first gloss. added "with hands and feet".

Wordreference defines as:
(descend by grasping)	(手足を使って)降りる 自動
 	 	這い降りる

This explains its application to trees (one of the yourei examples), ladders, and cliffs. I imagine this is why 這 is present (else 降りる alone suffices as "climb down"). 
  
Note: in our definition for 這い登る, "with hands and feet" isn't even parenthetical, it is literally:
 "to climb with hands and feet"

This is [rare] in comparison to 這い登る "crawl up", no doubt because it is quite hard to actually crawl in the downward direction.
