It looks and falls like a rag doll (which is appropriate since Kong is dead or unconscious at that point). I don't think they'd waste time animating an elaborate fall when they could achieve the same effect with a high speed miniature.


   I meant the climb, not the descent. 

But looking at things again...  If it had been a guy in a suit for the climbing scenes, wouldn't it have made sense if they shot the fall on the same day using the same set-up?  Just take the stunt guy out of the suit, stuff it with foam and newspapers or whatever, then chuck it off the top.   In a far away shot like that where you don't need to see any close-up detail, why not?
