This is, in fact, the main reason for a low gear in a transmission.

Actually, last year we used our low gear for climbing so that we could avoid all the pushing and shoving. But with the dynamics of last year's game we felt that anybody who got into a shoving match, was probably doing the wrong thing. The 02 and 03 games were a different story. There was a lot of space to cover and you had to be able to hold your ground when needed.
Design for how you plan to play the game. If you need two or more clearly definable speed regimes, then shift. If not, then don't.
