He was on a 70 meter dynamic rope set up as a top-rope so we could rehearse the moves before placing the bolts.
The rope extended way past the anchor at the top of the first pitch so we weren't planning to go anywhere near the end of the rope. You're right, we should have put knots in the ends anyway.

Very sorry to hear about this. Best wishes to Frank on recovering. Thanks for posting on the how accident occurred.

Frank's a great guy and always supportive of folks. I hope he gets well soon. I'm really glad so many folks were there to respond with you, Ed.
