Hmm, fall in the water and your climbing day is over (or worse). I'd rope up.

I think the danger of drowning if you fell would be more dangerous than the climbing.

No. Just trunks and arm floaties. Hire a local (penguin?) to boat you out there and fish you out when you pop. This is the FUTURE!

Not to mention you'd get hypothermia in a few minutes in these waters.
