climbing to the sky

Katja nodded to the girl's question. "Yes, the height allows you to see more of the land than below, but if you climb too high all will be hidden by the tree canopy. Even in winter, then, it will be difficult to see. But if you wish to find a distant landmark rather than something upon the ground, then do you climb above the canopy." She gestured around them. "Here, this place is unique in that it is easy to do this. In other places, not so much. It can be dangerous, for wolves are not built for climbing, but not impossible if the need arises. It is a good skill for a traveler to cultivate. You do not strike me as one who fears the challenge."
