Jon and Co. climb the Skirling Pass into the Frostfang Mountains. They spot wildling lookouts and after a harrowing nighttime climb they capture a wildling girl. Qhorin orders Jon to kill the girl but Jon can't do it and lets her go. Simon and Mackelly discover the real reason the pale-blue t-shirts are our best-selling merch.
Chapter Review:
Qhorin Halfhand\u2019s crew sees the light of a fire up ahead. Wildling lookouts have risked the light for some warmth. They won\u2019t get much from Qhorin. He sends Stonesnake and Jon Snow to climb around the watchers and silence them before they can raise the alarm. Jon orders Ghost to stay behind.
The climb is very dangerous, but the two arrive just above the wildlings\u2019 position and drop on them unannounced. The two men are quickly dispatched and Jon grapples with the third figure who was sleeping. It turns out to be a young woman named Ygritte. Stonesnake gives the signal and the rest of the party to join them.
Ygritte tells the tale of Bael the Bard and why she and Jon share blood. He\u2019s somewhat taken with her, she\u2019s made of tougher stuff. The Halfhand knows what has to be done and leaves Jon to kill Ygritte. The old softy can't do it, but won\u2019t desert his companions as she suggests. He lets her go.
