- throwaway91111 9y agoIt's not even sensical—like there was anything one could have done to help him in the event of a fall.
- dagw 9y agoIf he found himself unable to continue due to injury or fatigue they'd be able to help him down. But yea, extremely dumb comment.
- eagletusk 9y agoMaybe for like 0.5% of the climb they could do that, if Alex was close and he could somehow get a harness on, they could help him. If he got injured it's not like he could step left and there is a magical video game ledge that appears, It's all or nothing.
- artursapek 9y agoNo, but the photos showed that there are several rest points along the way. Presumably he'd try to get to the nearest one despite his injury.
- Zergy 9y agoIts a multi pitch route. There are multiple ledges that can be comfortably sat on. Assuming the injury isn't to catastrophic he could make it to one of those points and be rescued. That being said anyone trying to claim the climb isn't "pure" enough it mental.

- pcthrowaway 9y agoI tried looking it up, but couldn't find anything. What does Total Commitment mean in this context?
