((You're right Triquetra; those are the teams. :D))
The fact that Hunter hadn't let go of her hand after they had jumped confused Dani a bit more, though she quickly dismissed it for the present in favor of focusing on their goal. The map indicated that their cargo would be on the top of the mountain, and the group nearby was discussing ways to get to it using their own maps. Once her team was assembled, she pointed up to the top, indicating that they should simply climb up the side, though she was shadowed by Marcus's strange behavior. Nevertheless, she nodded and began jogging to the base of the mountain.
As she neared the bottom of the mountain, she paid close attention to the face, noticing that there were enough handholds for a person to climb up the smooth surfaces directly, though it was definitely a little perilous. The actual trek up the base of the mountain took a bit longer than she would have liked, as the slope was actually rather steep and made of more or less loose gravel.
Eventually, however, she reached the first cliff face, pulling on her black fingerless gloves before she began to climb. With the enhancements that all assassins had, it was fairly easy to get to the next plateaued area and trek up to the next face, though it got exhausting after a couple of the longer ones. After reaching the apex of the third cliff face, she sat down, feet dangling off the edge and waited for the rest of her team, occasionally looking up to see how much further she had to go. By her estimations, it would still take hours, though that was the case for just about every other path as well.
