Chapter Thirty - Jon 4 - A Storm of Swords | A Song of Ice and Fire (ASOIAF)
Send us a text
Jon Snow and his wildling associates get up-close and personal with the Wall. It’s a long, dangerous vertical journey, fraught with peril at every step. Jon ponders his future, and whether or not it includes Yigrette. Finally, he gets some of the intel he was tasked with acquiring. Simon and Mackelly wait for the ladder to be dropped.
Chapter Review:
Jon Snow sees no sign of Ghost, when he emerges from the cave he and the wildlings have been using as a campsite. He does see the Wall looming ominously in front of him. Jarl and his climbers are tasked with getting to the top of the Wall, in order to help the rest of the group make their ascent. Styr has sent scouts east and west to watch for Black Brothers. However, there’s been no sign of the Night’s Watch thus far.
Jarl and his men make the slow, arduous climb up the Wall, aided by landscape and the forest’s encroachment on the Wall. While Jon watches the men climb, he wonders what comes next for him. Does he join the wildlings fully, run back to Castle Black at his first opportunity, or take Yigrette and run away from all they know.
Up on the Wall, disaster strikes when a large section of the Wall sloughs off, taking Jarl and several other men with it. Hours later the remaining climbers reach the top, drop down rope, and pull up huge ladders. The rest of the group climb the ladders to scale the Wall. When Yigrette reaches the top, she tells Jon of her frustration that they were unable to find the Horn of Winter in the Frostfangs to bring the Wall down.
