My MC, injured (having been shot earlier) is extremely tired after carrying his partner, who took a bullet for him, towards safety.

She suspects that the ex-fil location they are heading towards might be compromised. Their adversaries are very clever and competent, so it is well within the field of possibility.

There is danger behind them as the hunt is on, danger ahead too. A safe place a quarter mile away is possible, but not without rest.

There is a hunting blind nearby with a ladder and a rope. 25 feet up is safer than on the ground as the search will surely find them there, but the adversaries need not think they went to ground by going up due to his injury.

My question is, considering he is extremely tired, is it credible to have him climb that rope which is the nearest path to safety?
