An observation re: Cliffs of Insanity

I realize that “The Princess Bride” was not a documentary.

But anyone who remembers climbing a rope in gym class could tell you that Andre the Giant couldn’t have lifted himself two inches, even without people hanging on to him.

He might have had strong arms. But his great weight would have kept him firmly on the ground.

The idea of him pulling himself up the COI is, well, inconceivable.
