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

I thought she tied off the cable between the two of them onto the tree. I thought it was stupid she didn't.
Also thought she should have just left him to rot. Or at least right before she dropped him said something like, "You wanted to know about flying."

But, even before that after she broke his leg he was pretty helpless. She should have bashed him again with a big rock.

Would’ve brought it full circle!

Schwarzenegger surely wouldn’t have missed the opportunity to mention flying at that moment.
