reclimbing
Going back up
Reclimbing is climbing something again.
The word appears most often in mountaineering and rock climbing contexts, where a climber returns to a route previously attempted or completed: After falling, she spent an hour reclimbing the pitch.
It can also describe repeated ascents in training or competition.
