Answer 1

Here You Go Fam

Step-by-step explanation:

In “Up the Slide,” the protagonist, Clay, goes in search of dry firewood. He is specifically looking for a dead pine tree that he’s passed earlier. He struggles to navigate the snowy cliff in his search for the tree.

Clay makes several attempts to climb to the tree but slips and slides as he moves across the mountain. Finally, Clay uses his ax to create a path for himself.

He discovers that that there are more dead trees there that have likely not been found by previous hikers because the climb up the cliff was so difficult. He ends up selling the firewood and making a large profit.
