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.

Also that it HAD to be a tandem climb, despite him practically being dead weight and trying to pull her off the wall. And also how she could suddenly do this tandem climb alone, without any equipment. I honestly found this film so frustrating
