[Right. Good. Look at how easy it apparently is. Just a deep, sandy breath and dragging himself stumblingly up the rope ladder. It's going to be much slower going, but having someone else ahead of him to draft behind does help a bit with the sand.

One hand over the other. Not panicking completely when his foot misses a rung for a moment. Breathing as slowly as possible under the circumstances.

Surprises?

[The real terror isn't being drowned in sand. The real horror is that the surprise might be something that shakes the ladder.]
