Chapter 17: Mountaineering

(Dipper and Soos walk up a snowy path on the side of the mountain and arrive at the entrance of a large cave. They see a sign written in Tibetan with a yak skull on it.)

Dipper: Well, this looks inviting. (points to the sign) What's it say?

Soos: (speaking Tibetan)

Dipper: (shakes head) Why do I ask?

(Soos makes a shape with his hands over his head.)

Soos: (speaking Tibetan)

Dipper: I'm not so good with charades, pal...

Soos: (speaking Tibetan)

(Soos pulls out the machete draws on his back and walks into the cave. Dipper follows him.)

Dipper: Wait, Soos. Why do you need that?

(They move through the cave a little until they reach a large gap. Soos pulls out a rappel.)

Dipper: Oh man, there's no way we're getting across there. What you got there?

(Soos looks up and starts swinging the rappel.)

Dipper: Yeah, good luck pal, that's almost impossible to -

(Soos throws it up and it catches onto a rock on the cave's ceiling.)

Dipper: Oh, you did it. Nice.

(Soos swings across the gap. Dipper follows.)

Dipper: I hope you know where you're going, buddy…

(They go through a tunnel that takes them deeper into the cave. Soos speaks again and Dipper still doesn't understand but just goes along with it.)

Dipper: Exactly. That's what I was thinking.

(They enter an area with a small encampment that looks like it'd been there for decades.)

Dipper: Looks like we're on the right track, but there is nothing here... This can't be what Quentin meant.

(They look up and see a white wolf on a ledge above them. As the wolf leaves, Soos speaks again and points up at the ledge. He throws the rappel up to the ledge and climbs up.)

Dipper: (skeptical) Oh, that way, sure... Those things bite, you know.

(He follows Soos up to the ledge and they go through another tunnel.)

Dipper: Hey, what's the big hurry? Hello? These are snow boots, not track shoes.

(They enter a wide area with snow-covered platforms along the center and ledges on the sides. They see a small group of white wolves on one of the ledges that has another cave.)

Dipper: (annoyed) More wolves... fantastic.

(The wolves walk off. The duo go over to a narrow icy bridge where a dead body lies.)

Dipper: What'd you find?

(Soos rolls the body over onto its back.)

Dipper: He's been dead a long time

(Soos finds a piece of paper on the body and shows it to Dipper. On it is a drawing of the Cintamani Stone.)

Dipper: The Cintamani Stone. He must've been one of Quentin's men.

(The bridge starts cracking.)

Dipper: (alarmed) Wha-!?

(They run back across the bridge as it collapses and grab hold of the platform. They move along and find a higher platform up an ice wall. Dipper crouches down.)

Dipper: Soos, c'mon. I'll give you a boost.

Soos: (speaking Tibetan)

Dipper: What? Yeah, I still don't speak that...

(Soos crouches down and holds his hands out.)

Dipper: Me first? Okay.

(Soos lifts Dipper up to the platform. Dipper pulls himself up and follows a path to a gap. He sees Soos on the other side.)

Dipper: C'mon, I'll catch you!

(Soos runs and jumps across the gap. Dipper reaches out and grabs hold of him. He pulls him up.)

Dipper: (smiles) I got you. There you go. You owe me one, pal.

(Soos throws the rappel up onto another ledge. He swings across to a small platform. Dipper swings across after him but the platform breaks off as he lands. He starts to fall until Soos grabs his hand and pulls him up.)

Dipper: (panting) Okay, we're even.

(They eventually leave the area move through the cave where the wolves were. They suddenly hear a loud growling noise echo throughout the cave.)

Dipper: (disturbed) What the hell was that?

(They reach another platform and find the wolves from before lying dead with huge claw marks on them.)

Dipper: (shocked) Holy shit... What did this?

(Soos speaks with a serious tone. He starts moving along.)

Dipper: Yeah... coming.

(They move through the cave and get to an exit. Something watches them from an upper platform in the shadows. It growls and leaves its position. Dipper hears it and looks back.)

Dipper: What was that?

(Soos speaks again. They look out in the open and see a wide area of an icy surface with wall in the back.)

Dipper: Alright, just stay here. I'll check it out.

(He jumps down and goes over to the ice wall. He goes through a narrow opening and enters a small area where another dead body is.)

Dipper: Quentin says hello.

(There are some stalactites blocking his path. He takes out his gun and shoots them. They break open and he gets back out into the open. Soos runs towards him when suddenly a large, dark-furred Sasquatch-like creature with big round horns jumps down on the icy ground and roars loudly.)

Dipper: (shocked) Oh my God! What is that?

(The monster attacks Soos and pins him to the floor.)

Dipper: Soos!

(Dipper shoots at it and it starts chasing him, leaving Soos still on the ground. Dipper runs around the area and continues shooting at it as it chases him. It doesn't seem to be affected by the bullets it takes.)

Dipper: (frustrated) Agh! This thing won't go down!

(Eventually the creature grabs and Dipper and picks him up. Dipper shoots it in the face but it swipes the gun out of his hand. As it's about to hit him with its claws, Soos jumps on its back and stabs it with his machete. The thing drops Dipper who gets his gun back. It throws Soos off and he and Dipper shoot it some more. The bullets push it over to the ledge and it falls into the abyss below them. They look down into the mist of the abyss as it gets quiet again.)

Dipper: (panting) What the hell was that thing?

Soos: (speaking Tibetan)

(Soos goes over to the opening in the wall. Dipper follows him and then crouches down when they get inside.)

Dipper: C'mere. I'll boost you up there.

(He lifts Soos up to the ledge.)

Dipper: Now how am I gonna get up there?

(Soos pushes an old wooden crate down. Dipper climbs up and they keep moving. They find another dead body.)

Dipper: Huh, these guys were dropping like flies.

(They move along the ledge and up to some higher levels on the mountain. Eventually, they get to a path with a large spiral staircase made of stone.)

Dipper: Stairs? Huh, must be getting somewhere.

(They go up the stairs and reach another cave. This time it looks man-made and has two Buddhist statues on either side.)

Dipper: (fascinated) Whoa…

Yeah, first zombies in the previous installment and now yetis in this. Well, at least they've reached their destination.
