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

Water, eh?  Obviously from no place we are meant to go. His voice was definitely amused, but how could he not be?  She'd gotten herself into a mess, but it happened to everyone at one point or another.  Except him of course... he tended to either land on his feet or fall spectacularly.

He climbed until he was right behind her, and space wasn't abundant here. Sorry.  I figure I can test the path, tell you where to go.  If you trust me.  He didn't see her as having much choice, and had a bit of a smirk as he delivered the last statement.  His intentions were good though.  He really didn't want to see her fall, much as he might not know her.  He began to back down, carefully checking his weight on the rock.  There's a hold behind you, a bit to the left.  Go for it and I'll tell you when you have it.  Going this way, he could hopefully get her back at least to where she could find her own route.
