rope traverse
The general term is "rope traverse." You may see "Tyrolean traverse" or Tyrolean crossing" as well, but this is a specific rigging method for a rope traverse (probably the most common.) See the reference link for a mildly amusing graphic depiction of a rope traverse. (Ah, memories . . .)

rope crossing
There are many different ways you can cross a river using a rope and I'm sure many of them can be described more specifically. But "rope crossing" would be a good general term. See the various photos below:
