Prisoners are not GO and therefore they can't climb. The guards can abandon the prisoners to climb though.

They can only abandon them in the RPh/APh - Climbing is done in the MPh - so when the start Climing they wouldn't be Guards anymore anyway.

When you invoke "No Quarter", Prisoners can 'climb' down any Cliff without expending any MF...

When you invoke Massacre, you simply push them over the edge. ?When you invoke "No Quarter", Prisoners can 'climb' down any Cliff without expending any MF...

Only allowed if the guarding unit is suffering from Low Ammo.

Are you sure of this? It (A20.5) says the action does not penalize actions in either of these phases but does not lay out when it can be accomplished. Checking the ASOP it is not delineated when abandoning POWs should be accomplished. Agreed it may be slightly implied (only barely) but is certainly open to discussion/controversy.

A20.5:
"...The captor unit becomes the Guard and may only be relieved of that task during any friendly RPh/APh in which the prisoners—if not involved in Melee with the Guard—are either transferred above another guarding unit in the same manner as a SW (4.431) or abandoned..."
Old Q&A:
A20.5 & A20.53 May Prisoners be abandoned
during the MPh? May a broken Guard abandon
its Prisoners during the RtPh?
A. No. No. (Guards may transfer/abandon
Prisoners only during RPh/APh.) [Compil3]
