Why does a rope climber pull downward on the rope to move upward?
The climber is actually pulling downwards on the rope. S/he is trying to pull the rope down or out of the ceiling but cannot do so. If you think of the climber just hanging there the rope has a tension upwards to counter the weight of the climber. If you are to move up then equilibrium must be broken and the net force on the climber must be up so the rope pulls the climber upwards. Of course, this pull is to do with action and reaction but the effect is the same.

How do you rappel without a harness?
There is a technique called the Dülfersitz in Europe, where you run the rope down between your legs, round the back of your thigh and from there diagonally across your chest and over your shoulder. The arm belonging to the shoulder that the rope pass over is held behind your back with the hand grasping the rope, and the other hand grasps the rope in front of you. It feels a bit awkward, but as long as you're wearing reasonably thick clothes it's not too bad. There's enough friction to give a controlled descent too.
What is the difference between dynamic and static climbing rope?
Dynamic climbing rope stretches when it is loaded, so for a climber this means that when he falls, the rope will stretch a little as weight is applied, making a fall softer and safer. A static climbing rope does not stretch and has its advantages in situations where you need a rope that does not stretch or give, such as rappelling or caving use. A static rope should not be used by climbers who are lead climbing because taking a fall on a static rope can lead to serious injury to the climber or even cause the rope to snap as it does not properly absorb the force it needs to cushion a fall.
