mantel

MAN-tul

A climbing move: pressing down on a ledge with both hands to raise the body above it, then rocking the weight forward until you can stand on the ledge. The move is simple to describe and strenuous to execute — a controlled muscling onto a shelf.
Etymology
From mantelpiece — the move resembles someone hauling themselves up onto a fireplace mantel.
