150 beats · 30 sacks · 2 snaps

The valley shift

You work one basket on a line that is already strung. The cards in hand are rope stock: hemp, steel, wood, and knot, each with a rank for the load it can take.

Night haul

Tap NIGHT HAUL. Hook a card onto a span. When the needle sits in the green bite, tap to winch. A miss adds tension and the basket does not move. Wind, then rain, then storm, change the line as the beats pass. Thirty sacks before beat 150 finish the shift. Two snaps drop the basket and end the night. The result shows sacks, beats, and snaps.

Rope rescue

A break hangs a load over the gap. Splice cards until the reach covers it. Brace adds hold and costs a beat. Winch two of the three breaks back up. A fall, or the beats running out, ends the rescue.

Lowering

Three loads leave the ridge. Ease pays out line. Brake bites. Swap Pad puts a fresh shoe on the drum. Land all three. A crash, a pad worn through, or an empty beat count stops that lowering.

What remains

The rope store keeps the stock you have used. The shift log keeps the best night, the shifts, the rescues, and the loads lowered. The almanac lists the four materials and the night rules. All three stay on this iPhone, including when the network is off.
