It's a huge trek upwards, but after a precarious bridge, it's all downhill from here

Dakota begins approaching the Tall Peak, with Joshua following him.
A few ways behind, Ace was slowly catching up. Even further behind, Kelsey was approaching, somewhat slowly, with her complicated sled.
Rosetta then appeared on the distance, statueless.

Ace mutters to himself, so no one can hear him "Oh, so Joshua and Dakota also came through here?" He sighs "Great, how am I going to talk to Paola too, now? We also need her to vote to someone else, so the votes are more spread apart"
"Seriously, what's up with Joshua not even warning me where Paola was going, didn't I tell him to do that? If you want something done right, you must do it yourself"
He looks at the map. "Well, if Paola's not here, she's either at the Deadly White or at the Snowball Pass, and she isn't that stupid to go to the Deadly White, right?"
He pauses "Or maybe she's trying to prove herself by taking the most dangerous route, right, great plan, Paola" He sighs "Either way, turning back right now is no option. I'll have to head to the finish as fast as I can, and if she isn't there by the time I get there, I'll go look for her"
"I can't assure she'll vote with me if I don't get the chance to talk to her, after all" Ace begins using the ski poles faster, slowly catching up to Dakota and Joshua "Wish I thought this through, I won't really get that far uphill with these... or maybe I will." He trips once again.

Ace gets to the base of the Tall Peak. "I could go up the slope, but I think that's not a good idea, I'll probably keep falling back down" He looks around until he finds a solid cliff wall "Perfect".
He then takes out the box with the statue and straps it to his back with the 'belt' on the sled. He then prepares himself and sticks one Ski Pole on the wall of the cliff. He then sticks the other one a bit higher and begins to slowly climb up in the most convoluted way possible "Easy peasy. Cooking, whittling, acrobatics, and a strong sense of balance and grip are the only skills you need to be the best."

Joshua is running after Dakota "Warrior! We need to talk! It's something really important for today's challenge or elimination!" Joshua notices that he's ignored and yells "PAOLA ASKED ME TO VOTE ON YOU!".

As soon as Joshua yells, a bunch of ice stalactites hanging from the cliff top begin to fall, headed for Ace

Ace looks confused at Joshua's yelling, then looks up to see Ice spikes falling towards him "Oh, great, can't Joshua do anything right?" Ace then, one hand on a stick pole, gets the statue box and puts it above him, blocking the ice spikes "Nice try, but I won't fall"
After the mess, Ace puts the box on this back again, and goes to hold onto the other ski pole to resume climbing, but loses his grip and begins to fall, hanging onto the lower skipole. "Great."

Dakota turned to look at Joshua. "Of course she would. She practically hates me." He grinned slightly. "It was just a temporary alliance. We're basically back to enemies now."

Joshua says to Dakota "Well... we could easily vote her off today, you know? We can vote together against her!" while Joshua is climbing he scratches his head "She actually don't look like a REAL princess..."

He frowned. "Just because in your eyes she doesn't look like a princess doesn't mean she doesn't deserve winning. Paola truely deserves this money more than me. If she wants to vote me off, so be it. I don't think I deserve the money. My dad's a CEO and my mom's a fashion designer. The money would be pointless for me."

"Uh? Okay man, I thought that you and her were enemies, and I was trying to help you, so, yeah, see ya!" Joshua starts climbing faster and faster.

Ace overhears their conversation and mutters to himself, so no one hears. "Oh, Dakota, does she REALLY deserve to win? We'll see about that." He takes a break and laughs "Paola is NOT winning this game".

Ace, carrying the box and the ski poles, rushes past Dakota and Joshua "Out of the way, out of the way!"
When he's at a reasonable distance, he stops. "Good, now, I need another sled" He looks around and he sees large ice stalagmites. "Perfect" He trades his ski poles for stalagmites and uses others to make wheels for the box.
"Here we go!" Ace sets forward, sitting on the box.

Kelsey popped her head out from behind the rock she was hiding behind after her sledge broke temporarily, "Hmm, Dakota doesn't care about winning..." She said to herself dragging her sledge up the hill. She was nearing the top but Ace, Dakota and Joshua were just starting to come into her eye line, although they did just look like faint blobs that were far away. She began contemplating her vote this week she decided she would discuss it with Crindoela as soon as possible.
((Oops! Sorry, I didn't realise! I'll take that out aha))

((Ace muttered that to himself, Kelsey, stop having op audition skills :V. I know the thing about the audition but Ace was far away from everyone (like, in the cliff wall, not on the normal climb). I know you may want to put those skills for good use, but not super use, please :v)
Kelsey begins nearing the top.

Ace, 'skiing', begins approaching the fragile bridge. "Oh... that is a tiny, tiny bridge" He muses "Oh, I probably shouldn't be skiing right on top of it" He muses, as he slides into the bridge "I probably shouldn't have a box slide on this bridge either" He muses, as the bridge cracks in two and he falls.
"Yeah, probably not" He then begins screaming his lungs out, as he falls. After a bit of falling, he hits the cliff wall and begins sliding down it, as it begins to funnel down to a hole. "Oh, lord, oh, lord, oh, lord" He begins chanting as he falls down through a tunnel and falls in a pile of snow into the Frozen Cave.
"Oh, that's why the map said there was a way to here" He gets up and looks around, seeing his ski is now broken, but that the box and his statue are okay. "Well, I guess I'll have to find my way out"

Ace falls to the Frozen Cave, Dakota and Joshua arrive at the bridge, which is now broken in two. There is a really fragile rope bridge a few miles north, but it's a fairly long walk. Probably beats taking the Cave detour, though.

"We should run, someone can be almost on the finish line, warrior!" Joshua holds his box with the head "Agility Spell Lv. 3!" He starts running to the rope bridge.

(You know the cave is down a cliff, right? You need to fall from the bridge to reach the cliff, and it's a pretty big drop)

Kelsey was finally at the top and decided to go the route of the cold river, which seemed the most direct way to the finish line and she did have her dingy, and her battery energy for emergencies.

The path to the cold river is beyond the now broken bridge or through the rope bridge a few ways from where you are or through the Frozen Cave.

Joshua arrives on the rope bridge and starts crossing it, in the middle of the bridge he looks down "It's... way more higher than I thought..." Joshua scratches his head "But I'm warrior I'm not afraid of it!"
