How did the mountaineer get down?

Question

This is what I read from a book of unexplaine mysteries. A mountaineer did a solo climb and managed to reach half way up. He was unable to go any further and neither could descend and he was stuck on a ledge. He looked up to the sky for any aircraft,but there were none. He thought it was the end for him,and he said a prayer then fell asleep. He woke up a few hours later to find himself at the bottom of the cliff..on the ground. He was certain that he could not go down,then he looked up and saw a plane and he waved to it. The planes pilot radioed air rescue,and the mountaineer told the whole account. What do you think happened?

Answer 1

maybe a giant elephant flew past and helped him but made him promise not to tell anyone.

Answer 2

Maybe he rolled down.

Answer 3

Perhaps he was a bit dim, and forgot where he actually was and what he was doing?

Answer 4

the ledge broke and it "sledged down" with him on it..?

or

God saw him on his way to China to kill a few thousand people with an earthquake.and thought he would have a laugh..?

Answer 5

i think when he fell asleep he was dreaming about how to get down,and he slept walked down.

Answer 6

1. He could have climbed down and received amnesia.

2. He could of sleep walked.

3. He could have made it all up, a hoax, we cannot always believe everything we are told.
