I worked on some ground that I should have used ropes! But never tried, or witnessed it. Now that I am a tree climber and familiar with them, I would be very comfortable to utilize them on gnarly ground.

I used a rope several times in Ak. Not hanging off it, but just there to keep from going into an uncontroled slide. If you have a tailhold in the right place you can getaway from the stump quick with a rope. I've known several guys that were hurt bad/killed in a fall.
 
I took this picture when I was first breaking in. I spent a lot of my time breaking in working with this guy, he's a damn good faller. As with any picture, I swear this was steeper and higher than it looks! Pictures never do anything justice.

Madhatte edit: This guy's pics are OK, but I'll be removing his words. Carry on.
