Using your strength, skill, and considerable determination, you overcome your climbing problems and propel yourself to the peak. Elation hits your senses when you stand on the top of the rockfalls but it is a feeling that is all too brief.

From the eastern end of the gully a cloud of dust is approaching. It is over a mile distant, but at once you can tell that it is being kicked up by a motorcycle. You stare at the approaching machine and, although you cannot see the rider, you know that it is the assassin. Cursing your decision to abandon your bike, you look around desperately for some means of escape.

If you wish to descend the west side of the rockfall and attempt to escape along the road on foot, turn to 18.

If you decide to descend into the gully and try to salvage your motorcycle, turn to 167.

If you choose to remain on the rockfall and attempt to ambush the assassin when he arrives, turn to 332.
