After climbing down the elevator shaft past the basement levels and then past three of the subbasement levels, Clara stopped nearly one hundred feet below where she began, still hanging onto the thick, twisted metal elevator cable. Clara looked at the doors, labeled on the inside as SubBase4. They looked a lot further away from this side of the elevator shaft, no longer able to push off anything too sturdy to make her way across. She tried swinging, but this elevator cable wasn’t going anywhere.

Wouldn’t swing? Maybe she did have something solid enough to push off of after all.
