What is the climax of "The Most Dangerous Game"?

The climax of Richard Connell's short story, "The Most
Dangerous Game," comes when Sanger Rainsford manages to elude the murderous Russian
Cossack, General Zaroff, diving off a cliff into the waters below in his last-ditch
effort to escape his hunter. Rainsford had managed to elude Zaroff for more than a day,
killing Zaroff's companion, Ivan, and one of the dogs; Zaroff, too, had been injured.
But Rainsford realized his time was running out and, when reaching the cliff, he decided
to take his chance with the dangerous dive rather than with Zaroff's relentless pursuit.
The latter paragraphs of the story, when Rainsford returns to Zaroff's bedroom, serves
as more of a falling action after the exciting hunt.
