Oh. When I got my first rope, I somehow accidentally managed to throw it to the upper level where I was supposed to get to by climbing it, and it deployed up there to the ceiling. I have no idea of how I even did that, haha.
If you back up to where Flicker is sitting another rope should appear at the base of the cliff. The easiest way to use ropes is to put it in the hotbar or right click it in your inventory.
