“No,” said Juvri, “I think I might throw up though.” She said, looking down the mountain from where they now stood. Looking back up, she spotted the areas that Viyara had been pointing out. Either something that stuck out or a sort of indent was each spot, which would provide something to hold on to. “Aren’t you supposed to have some kind of gear for this?” She asked, suddenly having doubts about the whole thing.

“You’ll be fine. Just don’t look down,” Viyara said encouragingly. “As for gear, some do, some don’t. I never go climbing with ropes and the like unless I have to. But-” She tilted her head and mustered Juvri for a brief moment. “If you prefer I can alter the program a little and you can climb with the help of ropes. And proper climbing shoes would be good for both of us. ” Without waiting for a reply, she adjusted the program. Now a rope, secured properly and all, was dangling down the side the of mountain and on the ground between them lay a small pile of equipment: two pairs of climbing shoes, two climbing harnesses, two pairs of fingerless gloves, two bags with chalk and one climbing helmet. “Better?” she asked with a lopsided grin. While she didn’t plan on using the harness or robe when climbing up herself, she did understand Juvri’s concern and while she liked to push people out of their comfort zone, she didn’t want to terrify her.

“Much better, actually,” Juvri said, putting on the equipment. Once she was ready, she said, “So. How exactly do you do this?” She was still pretty close to terrified, honestly, but she kept reminding herself that joining starfleet had been pushing her comfort zone, and while she hadn’t meant this exactly, she had meant to become less of a chicken.

While Juvri had put on her equipment, Viyara put her harness and gloves on as well. She then took her hand without asking and gently but decidedly pulled her close to the mountain side. While she explained what Juvri had to do she put the ropes in place. She then pointed towards certain parts of the rock within the woman’s reach and said, “You want to grab those first and make sure your hands are covered in chalk. That keeps them from getting slippery. But I’ll have you should you slip, so no worries and you can always come down if it’s getting to much. Okay?” And not really giving her the chance to say no, Viyara took a few steps back and got herself in position.
