Playing “Getting Over It”, #4

I rode the snake and it was glorious. The brief moment of watching the sky’s shifting colors on my descent, the snake slithering back and forth. Then the impact. The beginning. I may have lost altitude, but what I’ve gained, the snake can’t take away.

Since my last post, I fell from the bucket all the way to the start, climbed back up, rode the snake, and now I’ve tried 25 times to get back up the rocks after the orange. The early stages are almost effortless. It only takes me about 5 minutes to go from the start to the orange (while fact checking that statement, I made it up the chimney first try). I’ll eventually get lucky or skilled and make it past the rocks.
