Victoria Koenig's legs started shaking again. A height of over ten meters... He loved his life too much for this; he never recklessly climbed high places, let alone a dangerous sport like rock climbing.
"Ria, I'll just hold you back if I do that."

In the end, Victoria Koenig took an extra safety rope and attached it to Riley Perry.
Then, the two of them began to climb.
Victoria Koenig managed to keep up for the first two-thirds of the climb. Although he'd debuted through a talent show, he exercised regularly. He was young and strong, and with his dedicated training, his arm and wrist strength were decent. Besides, he was holding in a breath of stubborn pride. 'I'm a grown man; surely I can't be worse than a young woman?'
And so, he actually managed to persevere almost to the very top.
