That rock she chose to stand on while spear fishing had been far more slippery than she had expected. Her clothes her set out to dry, but the fish she had caught turned out amazing.

There was just something about hunting and cooking your own food that made it taste better. Of course, cleaning and gutting the animals she could do without. It was a good thing the men in her life had taught her how to survive or she would have died by now.

Tapping her fingertips on the tree log, Mira frowned. Pulling out her tricorder, she tracked Vaytoc. He wasn't far, but the way he was moving looked like he was tracking something.

Looking at the chronometer, she bit her lip. Sitting still just wasn't her thing, and that mountain had been calling her name all afternoon.

Rubbing her forehead with her fingertips, she knew it would start getting dark before she made it all the way to the top, but sitting here just wasn't fun.

The decision made, she jumped up and quickly slipped on her body suit and climbing boots. She tossed a circle of nylon rope over her head and round one arm.

She normally free climbed up but rappeled down.

Making it to the planned mountain took a little longer than she expected. She studied the rock face. The first ledge was about 9 foot high. Jogging a ways back to be able to build speed and momentum. She then ran back at full speed, taking a few steps up the cliff face. she then jumps off, grabbing the ledge.

Hanging there for a moment, she let one hand go, to swing herself facing outwards, then swung her feet out and over her head to land belly first on the ledge. Landing, she laughed and stood up to judge the best way up from here.
