First, did you realize I'm a 9 year old?
This is quite a "step-up" from my usual walking you see.
Guys, see this. We only have 100 more steps left!
I'm really excited! So let's go.
Oh, did I mention I'm doing this climb barefoot?
I made a mistake of climbing too fast in the beginning,
and so I had to slow down in the second half.
But I think I will pull through.
And oh, if you noticed I noticed I took
a little bit too much time feeding the deers.
(Bright percussion)
