This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I understand, hey go climb a big rock. cool.

i don't understand doing it without a basic life line attached to you to ...ya know, prevent .... rapid inertia.

Is the rope hanging off him not a life line?

~~I see no rope.~~

Better picture given in another post shows a fall rope plain as day.

Yellow line from his butt.

I'd also have a yellow line coming from my butt in this scenario.

Someone else posted a better pic, definitely looks like a fall rope tied to something. The OP Pic is potatoes and you can only discern a line that could be natural crack.
