The team continued to climb down the rope. It was a very slow climb down. But the team wasn't giving up. Jessica was climbing slowly and gently with the others. Although she was in pain, it didn't stop her from climbing the rope. Max, who was following her from above, heard Jessica groaning below. He managed to look down at her and saw her struggling to climb down the rope.
"Are you okay?" Max asked Jessica.
Jessica looked up and met Max glancing at her. She let out a smile and sighed. Catching her breath from the mount she had started with the team. "I am. I'm okay. Just trying to ease the pain and maintain my grip on these sheets...or rope rather," she responded.
Max chuckled at her response. Mostly on the corrections she made. Jessica giggled and continued to climb.
"Of course you are. You're an amazing lady," Max muttered.
