The second path was exactly as Master Ortiz had shown Tristan, a steep cliff about a hundred meters high that had to be conquered with their restrained condition.
The nearly ninety degree cliff certainly felt a lot different when he saw it then and now, when he was blindfolded and could only 'see' it with Katra.
Heck, he even could only feel the lower part of the cliff with his second stage Katra, causing the upper part to be obscure in his sense. Coupled with the fact that his hands were bound, the only way to go up was through the dozens of wooden poles that stuck out of the cliff like a certain object.
He realized he would need several seconds to sense the pole with his second stage Katra, and in this kind of competition where speed ruled above all, his current capacity was simply not enough.
