“We only came close to dying six or seven times, which I thought was pretty good. Once, I lost my grip and found myself dangling by one hand from a ledge fifty feet above the rocky surf. But I found another handhold and kept climbing. A minute later Annabeth hit a slippery patch of moss and her foot slipped. Fortunately, she found something else to put it against.

Not all those who wander are lost;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring
