Planning a new campsite without surveying equipment meant they could only rely on visual observation from a high vantage point.
The most suitable location was Beheading Cliff. It was located at the edge of the Snow Mountain Range, and from its peak, one could get an unobstructed view of the entire Glacial River Beach.
At Khilla's command, the White Wolves galloped, pulling the sleds across the Glacial River Beach and stopping at the foot of Beheading Cliff's rear slope.
Nash took out a rope, first securing it around David's waist. Khilla and Nash then tied the other two ends to themselves.
With one in front and one behind, the two of them started climbing the mountain, pulling David along.
The steep slope was covered in snow and loose rocks. Fine gravel was buried beneath the snow, making it easy to slip.
