Ain't No Mountain High Enough

As the group gathered at the base of the slate grey cliffs, Talyssa stood before them, the bleak mountain looming overhead. The air was crisp with the chill of early winter, and the sound of the waterfall cascading down the rocks provided a soothing backdrop to the scene. Talyssa's keen eyes scanned the group, noting their anticipation and perhaps a hint of apprehension.

"Welcome, everyone," she began, her voice carrying a reassuring tone. "Today, we're going to learn the basics of cliff climbing. These cliffs may seem daunting, but with the right technique and mindset, you'll find that they're not as challenging as they appear." She gestured towards the rock face, where a few safe routes had been marked out with chalk. "Our first lesson will be about foot placement and balance. It's crucial to find secure footholds and distribute your weight evenly to prevent slipping."
