Short answer is they returned to their base camp every day, and then went back to their previous progress via ropes.
- pimlottc 12y agoHuh, something is strange with the page you linked; I can't scroll down in any way, in three different browsers.
- thezilch 12y agoIf your savvy about browser's dev tools, uncheck "overflow: hidden" on the body tag. Presumably you block 3rd party / advertising JS? I've noticed more and more sites that break (and maybe intentionally?) with 3rd party JS disabled.
- pimlottc 12y agoI noticed that too, odd. I guess there is some js that's supposed to disable that after pageload. I wasn't using any blockers, though.
- MarkSweep 12y agoAnother way to get around this sort of thing in Firefox is to disable styles on the page. From the menus it's View -> Page Style -> None. On Windows the keyboard accelerator is ALT-V-Y-N.
