In an episode of the old 1970's series Kung Fu, Caine gets stuck in a well with an old man
There is no rope or ladder up to the top, nor anyone at the top of the well who can help by lowering a rope etc
The well/shaft is slowly filling with water and they have to escape
Either man with his own arms and legs outstretched in any way cannot touch enough sides to climb out that way
So they face back to back, but their backs together, link arms, and start to walk together up the walls!
But is that actually possible?
Especially when you get near the very top and have to climb out when the wall isn't surrounding you anymore - the last final bit would be really tricky.
