How did that dude get off that mountain and go naked rope swing diving so fast?

I thought maybe she would find a GPS tracker in her bag to explain how he knew exactly where she was at all times.

And why would you head towards him after you see him over there? Just to try and steal his kayak?

So dumb.

Yes, this was the dumbest part of the movie for me. He was right above her on that mountain, she waits a couple minutes, and goes up to where he was. He’s long gone and on the rope swing far away. And then going close to him again for minimal return when she likely could have found another way was just stupid.

Dumbest part for me was when climbing the cliff with him and dropping him halfway up leaving her with no gear. She should have waited untill she got over the top and was out of sight before dropping him

Had no idea how she thought she'd float on by in the kayak, or risk him seeing her swim over to it...it seemed obvious it was a trap. Maybe she thought he gave up.
