What goes up must come down

Climbing down is often more difficult and dangerous than going up; you follow gravity, but not too much. Too much would be deadly.

In the morning, Bodhi and Galen had started out with Bodhi's personal possessions in backpacks, and the most valuable and important cargo on anti-gravity floaters. Much of the way, they had been reppelling down ropes.

Now, they are taking a break in sight of the base, but still quite far away.

"We should do something about rope burns," Galen says.
