Alpine Lake here she comes and then she's gone again

Colt had determined it was about time to do a little more scouting of the surrounding territory.  He'd wandered the place a shit ton in the time he'd spent around these parts, but things could always change and who knew what you would find?

He'd often gone west in his recent excursions, so today felt the mountains a more appropriate destination.  Colt had never really been one for living in them - rocks and cold, plus shaky footing at best in many places.  But he enjoyed traversing then sometimes.  It was easy while climbing to get a piece of that thrill he and Finley used to seek out when they were younger, and it almost made him feel years younger again attempting.

Today, though, before he could even think about whether he wished to start, he looked up and saw someone who already had.  And now was just kinda standing there.... wait were they standing?  What were they doing?

You alright up there? he called out.
