Nusu Dome ni mita 1,500 ya granite laini. Barafu ilifanya iwe laini miaka 15,000 iliyopita.
Alianza mapema asubuhi. Aliruka juu kwa mizunguko ya polepole.
Akiwa mita mia tatu juu, alijiunga na kundi la ndege wadogo na wepesi wanaoitwa swifts. Walikuwa wakisonga haraka. Walikuwa wakipiga kelele kwa kila mmoja. Polly alikuwa ndege wa polepole zaidi pale.
Upepo uliongezeka nguvu. Mwamba wenye joto uliwasha hewa. Hewa ya joto ilipanda juu. Ilimbeba Polly juu.
Nusu ya njia, alipumzika kwenye ukingo mdogo. Aliweza kuona njia ya kamba. Watu hupanda kwa kamba nyuma ya dome. Ilikuwa imefungwa kwa ajili ya majira ya kuchipua.
Juu kabisa, granite ilikuwa tambarare. Kulikuwa na marundo madogo ya mawe. Watu walikuwa wameyaacha.
Alitembea hadi ukingo. Aliangalia chini. Bonde lilikuwa mbali chini. Miti ilionekana kama manyoya ya kijani.
Alijisukuma kutoka ukingoni kwa kuruka kidogo. Kisha akafungua mabawa yake na kuelea chini.
