That looks even more chossy than the p.o.s. cliff I tried to kill you on, Tom.
Of course, given the gravity there, we wouldn't be climbing -- just dynoing for the top.

True, David...but I'd have lots more time to dodge falling debris!

Ice climbing? Eww. It actually got down to 27 here yesterday and I about died. I definitely couldn't deal with negative bajillion out there.
Could you possibly over shoot the dyno and sail off the comet?
According to this article which has a bunch of brainy-looking formulas and junk, 67P's escape velocity is ~0.46 m/s, or effectively 1 mph. So, yeah.
