Good.
One of those women was Shiloh, who for...
obvious reasons cannot be with us for the sequel although she does appear in flashback instead we have Shiloh's sister Jax played by Harriet Slater wrestling with the loss of her sister while clearing out her belongings and in the belongings she finds a scrapbook of planned challenging climbs okay
She then meets her sister's friend, Luce, played by Arsimer Thomas, who convinces her that the way to overcome her grief about the loss of her sister is, get this, to follow her sister's dreams, to put her fears behind her, and do one of these insanely deadly climbs that she has found in the scrapbook.

This was 3.4 million, but still stripped down and still, I have to say, vertiginously terrifying.
Now, I need to be clear about this.
