Abigail is climbing up and rappelling down a series of cliffs and drop-offs. She starts at her base camp, which is on the middle of a mountain. She begins by rappelling down an 82.5-foot drop-off and then climbs a cliff of 30.4 feet. Next she rappels down a 45.5-foot drop-off and then climbs a 25.2-foot cliff. Finally she makes two 45.4-foot climbs.
