My guess would be “Thank God I can take a little break here, my hands and arms had started shaking with exhaustion… I wonder if a helicopter could come close enough to drop a rope to me?”
Apparently it’s 1800 feet up and “only” another 200 feet to get to the top of that climb.
Still, I think the only thing I would be thinking there would be some variation of “why the hell did I come up here and how soon can I be safely back aground!”

Or so I’m reading from safe in my bed!
That’s a fair interpretation, I suppose.
