“You okay?” Stanley asked. Zero gave the thumbs-up sign. Stanley did the same.
He looked above him. He wasn't sure how he'd get to the next ledge.
It was three or four feet above his head, and he didn't see any footholds.
He was afraid to look down. “Give me a boost,” said Zero. “Then I'll pull you up with the shovel.”
“You won't be able to pull me up,” said Stanley. “Yes, I will,” said Zero.
Stanley cupped his hands together, and Zero stepped on his interwoven fingers.
He was able to lift Zero high enough for him to grab the protruding slab of rock.
Stanley continued to help him from below as Zero pulled himself onto the ledge.
While Zero was getting himself situated up there, Stanley attached the sack to the shovel by poking a hole through the burlap.
He held it up to Zero. Zero first grabbed hold of the sack, then the shovel.
He set the shovel so that half the blade was supported by the rock slab. The wooden shaft hung down toward Stanley. “Okay,” he said.
Stanley doubted this would work. It was one thing for him to lift Zero, who was half his weight.
