I was up there today and the home-made grappling hook and nylon cord was still there. It does appear that this cord was purchased at a Wal-Mart or Dick's. It appears that this man had no technical climbing or repelling knowledge. There was also clothesline type rope at the top of the rock near the grappling hook.
My partner and I found the fallen man's backpack at the top of the rock, in it contained drugs and drug paraphernalia. Additional equipment was found near the grappling hook, which appeared to be hardware store type carabiners.
I wish the man the best and a speedy recovery!
