That would make sense, yeah. I suppose you can see that on the picture too, he’s standing on the shield boss of one shield and the edge of another. It still seems like it would be very heavy for the guy at the top, but I suppose they don’t spend that long standing there, maybe.
I wonder if this way around was to help the climber get a foothold above the shield whilst being shot at.
My imagination tells me they’d be sprinting up there whilst having arrows shot at them, so anything to get their foot on would be handy.
Maybe the other way around they’d be more likely to catch their foot under the shield in front of them too, tripping them up.
The above is all just my imagination though so hopefully there’s someone better read around here that can answer more accurately.
