Yeah, he's very much using both hands. He could conceivably free up one after a second of securing it.
OK, even assuming I can get to the edge of the hole with the remaining rope, if I continue it would probably go like this:
-> He secures the rope
-> I get to the hole
-> He yanks me and I fall over

So attempting to jump in the hole (and letting gravity do the hard work of making him lose grip) is out.

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

Well, I could probably get over close to him, but hitting him in the arm is probably too risky. He's huge; it'd be like a mosquito bite. And even if it did work I'd probably get stuck in the hole.

Yeah, pull on the rope, even when he's straining on that he's too heavy for me to move... I know! I could convince him to let me help him with the rope, and when he begins to relax, I could pull hard in the other direction and trip him up!

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?
