. the canyond
in the predawn , the vertical rock wall seemed to reach from the center of the earth all the way to the dark sky . the group climbing out grew quieter as the incline grew steeper . they all knew that the day promised - cross-your heart-and-hope-to die kind of promised - to grow hotter as thje pithch of the trail grew more acute and as the sun climbed higher .
after the first section of the north kaibab trail the group developed a determined rhythm , jules's boyfriend , eric , set an early pace that she thought was too aggressive . lisa kept up with him , jules jack , kanyn , and carmel fell back about fifty yards . the interval between the groups soon stretched to seventy-five .
jack got the women laughing with a playful description of shirtless ,man's abs .
jules ha the long , easy stride of a natural atlete , the exertion of the climb didn't wind her as it did the others , though the dry air turned her voice husky . she said ." you can have his abs - but those pecs . i mean , come on . i can almost -almost -understand jaana's decision to come down here with somebody she just met . though he did seem one shot short of a cocktail ."
"be nice ," carmel said ." he got a little drunk , so what ?'
jack agreed .: who cares , who cares , who...cares ? i'm going to give the poor man the benifit of the doubt all day long .... and if i get lucky someday , maybe all night long .
