Re-l thought for a moment, seeing the advantages to both, but at last she said "Me. I can test out the ground first."
The trail was widest at the base, and the first hundred metres or so were easy going. Then the first switchback came, and she had to change her angle of movement sharply. They were already quite high, and the ground seemed to yawn up at her, waiting for her to fall. The trail was narrow here, too, narrow enough that she was sliding sideways. She shimmied up the track until it widened out again, and then stopped to catch her breath, looking back to Gabriel.
