Rope Walking / Princess Saving Question


How did the sons manage to tie the rope to the opposite end of the gorge before crossing, to save the princess from the ogre? The princess hadn't helped them tie it from the other end since she didn't seem to realise the woman came back with her sons. I thoroughly enjoyed this film but this tiny detail bugged me a lot while watching it.

I suppose I shouldn't over-think it, just curious to see if anyone else noticed this.

I also wondered how the rope that was fastened to a stake that was hammered into the rock had got there? The gap was far too big to jump across or for him to be 'propelled/somersaulted across' by his family.
