We set a deadline turn around of 14:00 - an hour and five minutes from now.
Frank expects, we'll make it about half way. | And the Abyss stares back into Stella. | Bill attacks the climb. |
| |
Bill picks his way quickly among the boulders. |
Stella and Frank follow rather more slowly. | For perspective: that is a mule train down there. | | Stella is on the steepest part of the ascent while Frank watches. |
| |
Made it. Stella can rest now, | while Frank chooses to spider over the rocks. | Okay, back into the sand. | |
Stella presses onward. |
|
|
And upward. |
| |
Ever upward. |
