“Not much to say except I took a bad fall and pin balled a bit then somehow hit the rope w my neck,” Harrington captioned an Instagram post.

Harrington, 33, also expressed her gratitude for the people she was with whom she said “helped get her out” after the fall. Among the people she thanked was Alex Honnold, the subject of the 2018 documentary “Free Solo” that chronicled his attempt to free climb El Capitan.
