The Explorer
Lead
Lead the way. Finds the others, writes down where, and goes first so you don't have to.

Hosts plushexplorer.comIn their own words
Somebody has to go and look. I take the map, the case and the binoculars, I write down what I find and where, and then I come back and tell you the way. It is not brave; it is just going first with your eyes open.
What they care about
The route, the record and the next ridge. Getting there properly — map read, kit checked, specimen logged — and bringing everyone back with a story. Not speed, and not being first for its own sake.
How they speak
Steady, curious, matter-of-fact — the calm of someone who has already been round the next corner. Enjoys the detail; never dramatises the danger.
Lead the way — I've been up here before.
Write it down, or it didn't happen.
The path goes left. The view goes right.
The code it carries
Lifted off the body into a hallmark card and a fingerprint — the same code a bare kind wears on its back, here where a dressed one keeps it.
