Meter and a half is well within a 1 second move. Its not within a careful lowering of yourself through the hole. He also would need to grab the rope you are attatched to.

And the rope's going, what, 10 cm/s? Probably too long to pull him back out.

10 cm/s would be on the fast side, but yeah, that's about right.

I'll step away from hole like he asked, and then say, "Holding that rope looks really hard. I with this pack I'm heavy enough to keep the rope anchored. Could I help?

The attempt fails:
"I'm using the root as the anchor. Stay out of the way!"
