I think I've ended up with a pretty good run going...
Been rolling Orc Paladins. They're fairly nice for this mission since they start with 8-11 PV and everburning torch, which means you can get the climbing set ~50% of the time. If I hit a bad gremlin bomb, I usually just restart right away.
UC has been very kind to me. There is a neutral altar on UC:1, and, equally importantly, a rich flavour room right near the start of UC:2. The latter means that I basically don't have to worry about food--if I start getting low, I can just fight there for as long as I need. Good for healing up and stuff too. I've just been crowned with =Acid and Perion plate. Not really ideal, but the extra PV is nice. I have plenty of room to try for a postcrown or two as well... I haven't been down to any of the cavernous levels yet.
[edit]I've also been saved already by a randomly equipped AoLS

YOUR HISTORY:
Your father is a guildmaster. Your family generally is rather
wealthy and well-known in your home town.
During your childhood one of your uncles taught you a lot of things
about the history of your people. Your vast knowledge on the legends and
the lore of your people made you very popular with your friends because of
all the exciting stories you knew.
During your youth you were very lazy. You slept a lot and didn't
care too much for your duties and tasks. Your parents were not very happy
with you.
As a young adult you left your home because of trouble with your
parents. They opposed your plans for the future without understanding your
wishes. Thus you decided to live on your own. You wandered through the
country for many years, growing older and wiser and learning many things.
You decided to become a Paladin.
