As the horses continued to approach, and his breath began to even out, he cracked his knuckles and flexed his fingers. The gloves he wore were thick but not necessarily thick enough to guard against any sharp rocks he might grasp.

But first he had to leap up and grab hold of something solid enough he could pull himself up along the smooth surface of the exterior.

He could’ve used Cassius’s height about now.
