Traversing the final scree - I need explanation
Hello everyone, I am so happy that I am over the initial "learning cowboy language" obstacle as the book is not as hard as I imagined for non native speaker, but now I am it the chapter where I have no idea what's going on. And it's passing the last scree that should be easy.. but it changed. Around page 425.
I think they are going across. I was struggling with how screes works and if they are going up or down. Many words that were new for me. But I think in Cavalry chapter, they went up the scree. Zigzag jumping. While now they are trying to cross across the scree without sliding down..am I right?
But I have no idea what they are doing. How they are using the rope - I thought they are holding it, but then there was a part where rope was off the ground. And wasn't the rope too short? Kalin have regrets that he is facing wrong direction. I have no idea how rope works with horses. Yeah...explaining my confusion sounds funny.. :-D but could someone explain me plain simple this scene? I will be so greatful.
Edit: maybe some pics that inspired the landscapes would help too.
