And the fourth thing that hit me was the now-frozen ocean, as the ground beneath me gave way and I plummeted down a steep slope of icy debris to the aformentioned body of water.

"Alright," Uberbob said, cracking the knuckles on his one real hand, "we're climbing this slope. Upper Placespot awaits us. Climb with me to... ADVENTURE!" He took a chisel in each hand and attempted to climb the 70 degree slope by shoving the chisels into the side and pulling himself up. He didn't get very far; his arms weren't strong enough to force the chisels into the ice on their own. The slope looked to be about 350 feet high, and even if he could just stab the chisels into the side, I seriously doubted he could pull himself all the way to the top.
"People don't just start climbing up huge slopes with their bare hands," I scoffed. "Mountain climbers have equipment to help them out. And besides, you're an idiot."
"Hey, I used the chisels!" he said in a frustrated tone.
"Yes," I sighed, "but you would need to secure them. Think ahead, genius."
