Meanwhile...
Il'anque loved this invisibility cloak. She had seen no fewer than three monsters on this cliff face, and they had all ignored her entirely.
This climb was short, but hard. It was almost entirely overhangs, and there was even a roof segment - a near vertical extension of the wall that Il'anque had to climb over - at the crux of the route. Nevertheless, using underclings - holds that can be gripped from the bottom - for stability, she made it up. She found a good place to attach her rope, and let it fall down.
Hopefully, the rest of the group would have an easier time getting up with the rope set in place. Il'anque stood on top of the roof, and looked up.
The rest of the mountain was a huge climb to reach the bald peak at the top. That was her goal.
The White Iron awaited.
