The God Mars book Six: Valhalla I Am Coming
“In any case, we didn’t get very far today.
First came two hours of relentless jarring over rough terrain, a lot of climbing and dropping, all endured blind, sealed up inside the hull of the ‘Horse. Finally, the climb began to become more consistent, less snail-crawl roller coaster ups and downs, but I could feel us slowing even painfully further, until I could feel every individual boulder grind under our treads.
Then I could feel us change direction, turn south, and our angle of attack got i...ncreasingly steeper, until we either had to strap into harnesses or hang on tight or tumble into the rear bulkhead of the bay. I assume that meant we were heading into the questionable pass through the crater rim.
It quickly became clear that the pass might possibly be too steep for the rig, as we would slip and slide backwards every few minutes without warning, which was a new kind of torture.
And then we would suddenly dip sideways, one set of treads or another abruptly dropping into a pitfall.MoreLess
