After a few seconds David is more than half way up the rope mentally hurrying himself. There are people depending on his speed the slower he goes the more likely it will be that they die. He can feel his arms burning a bit but forces himself to go faster still, quickly hoisting himself up the ledge "I'm up!" he calls "Who ever is next get your ass up here!" with that he pulls out his own hand gun. And takes aim. Firing shots down below attempting to help cover the others.
