assuage boredom with "cc hint";

say "From the corner of your eye, you catch a hint of furtive movement from the ledge halfway up the distant mountain[if Ledge is visited], halfway up the crack[else] along the vertical crack that splits it. You wonder if it's possible to climb the crack up to the ledge[end if].";

move distant-ledge to location.

The distant-ledge is minor set dressing with printed name "distant ledge". Understand "ledge" as distant-ledge. The description is "The ledge is bisected by the crack that runs up the mountain's cliff.".

[For players who reach the ledge but don't realize they need to say "hello" to begin the conversation.]
