Baiscally you could make an invisible map made of boxes. The boxes would be where the edges in your map would be. Then check collision between the player and the box map. If there is collision, play the animation of the player hanging and position him accordingly.

Alternatively, cast short rays vertically down from where the player's hands would be. If the rays hit something, and the normal is close enough to vertical, there is a ledge which can be hung off.

No, raycasting is very fast. If you use sparky's dll you won't notice any slow-down even if you do hundreds of raycasts each frame.
