Climbing & Caving, Monday Period 3
So last week had been... odd. Liam still wasn't entirely sure how he felt about all of it. But right now that wasn't what he was worrying about. Right now, he had a class to focus on.
Once again, they were portaling to a destination, and once everyone had made their way through, Liam began to speak.
"Welcome to the South Bubble in Acadia National Park, Maine," he greeted. "This is what we're climbing today. What we're doing today is called a 'top rope' climb, because we're relying on ropes that are already secured in place with bolts along the route, and these helpful people here," he said, gesturing at the NPC mountain climbing guides who had conveniently just arrived, "have agreed to belay the ropes for you. This way, in case you lose your footing, you won't fall more than a few feet. Before we get started, let's go through the basics on how to properly secure your harness to the rope."
Once he was certain everyone had that down, he walked them over to the cliff itself, and once everyone had secured themselves properly, they were off!

"You know," he mused, "with some higher quality, luxuriant materials and some well placed accouterments, and these could be quite fashionable! Form as well as function!"
