As a matter of fact gravity on the moon is 1/6th of the Earth. But it's still gravity. A cat or a dog can weight less than a 1/6th of a grown man like Foster here on Earth and still they walk, jump and do whatever they do without the danger of finding themselves en route out of the atmosphere. The difference of gravity doesn't seem to give humans a special capavility but to do longer or higher jumps as those seen on TV by the Apollo crews.
"2001: Space Odyssey" is one, if not the best, space movie because the care Kubrick give to the little details, and we can see that the astronauts on the moon walk "normally". So, if Foster and his alien friend need to use a cable in their journey to moonbase is because, if they don't use it, they will had a big and ugly fall into the ravine.
The question in that chapter was HOW Foster and the alien put the end of the cable between the rocks on the other side of the ravine without being they there first?

Okay...here's another topic for discussion: By the time UFO started shooting, didn't they know that there was no gravity on the moon?
