The kid was lucky that he decided to climb when he did as Garris watched the bear leap again and take out the rest of the ledge in another attempt. "Jeez what did you do to piss it off like that?" he grunts, focusing on holding onto the rope rather then trying to haul the kid up. He was surprisingly light, but there was still snow and ice he was trying to get a good foothold.

Once Garris sees his head poke up over the edge, he firmly wraps the rope around one hand and reaches down to grab the kid back the back of his vest. Yanking him up the rest of the way over the edge, Garris gives a huff, flexing out his fingers afterwards.
