The icing on the cake is always the alt text.

Very spelean.

However, the guy on rope hasn't left a rope to the surface, so he may be taking a long time to find his SO.

How do you know he's not on the way up?

Fantastic comic, eh? Some comics take time to warm up to, but then there's this, Perry Bible Fellowship, Space Moose, and PLIF: love at first sight. ;)

When he gets to the ledge where the rope is anchored, he can't go higher without endangering himself. That's why cavers and climbers use rope; either to climb directly (cavers, and our stick figure), or as protection (belay) while climbing. The second usually requires a human belayer to control the safety rope and lock that rope in case of a fall.

But he might be The Terminator.

The alt text on the original says so.

The Terminator (or the Governator) wouldn't need rope at all.

Unless he was trying to fit in.
