Call that 'walking back' if you want.

For reference, you can see a service platform above the hook block, along with the cab on a smaller model.






That wasn't really a clarification... You said " not me in the pic, the picture was taken from a service platform" did you take the pic from the service platform? If you neither took the pic or happen to be the person in the pic, then yeah.....I'd call that walking it back....actually I'd call it alot more than that.
On the positive side, I'm sure the altitude of your office window is very impressive.
