Clambering over rocks, stumbling and almost falling over smaller ones, Sander was breathing hard by the time he reached the edge of the ravine. He slowly leaned forward and looked down the ravine. It was a definitely a loooooonnnggg way to fall.

No...nope. That wasn't going to happen to him, Sander was determined to get through this test alive and in one piece. Sander turned his head to check on the Acromantula and was dismayed to see that the cage capturing the Acromantula was no longer there. The transfiguration spell had worn off. The Acromantula was loose, had sighted him and was now making its way towards him. Sander suspected that if it wasn't mad at him earlier, it definitely was now.

Sander didn't have time to waste. He looked up at the hanging vines above him. Taking out his wand, he pointed it at a long vine and concentrating hard on what he wanted to transform the vine into, Sander said the incantation, "Vinea Funiculus," while tapping the vine with his wand.

The moment the vine transformed into a rope, Sander grabbed hold of it. Taking a few steps back, Sander swumg himself across the ravine.

Whee....only the rope came up short!!

....so there he was swinging back and forth...back and forth....like the pendulum of a clock....and if this wasn't a perilous situation, he would have loved to continue swinging back and forth like Tarzan, the legendary Lord of The Apes.

....and so the moment the rope swung back to his previous launching position, Sander released his hold on the rope and landed back on the ravine's edge. Massaging his aching arms, Sander looked above him again and searched for a longer vine.

....and all this time, the Acromantula was getting closer!!
