Kray finds a good stick. Easy to lift, hold and without any wonky bends that would impede the aerodynamics. It was just a very good stick.
Throwing is of course Dex + Athletics +1 for the good stick and you can start with a flat Strength + Athletics to start climbing

Throwing distance math. Bridge is 60 feet (20 yards) away.
Throwing distance (short) = Strength (4) + Dexterity (2) + Athletics (3) - object size (2) = 7 yards
Medium range = double short range 14 yards (-2 to throwing roll)
Long range = Double medium range 28 yards (-4 to throwing roll)
Might of the terrible brute adds dots to strength
Might of the terrible brute 2 successes
short range becomes 9 yards
Medium 18 yards (-2 to throwing)
Long 36 yards (-4 to throwing)
Finding what he is looking for the Ogre swaps the hammer to his left hand and hefts the stick. "Uh. This will do nicely." Pupil less eyes track back up the bridge its still quite a distance a little extra oomph might not make him more accurate but it might still make the throw easier. So feeding glamor into his muscles for added bulk the Ogre hefts the stick and grunting loudly. "ARH." Sends it spinning end over end towards the distant bridge trying to connect.
Alot of good it would do them to climb to a bridge that wasn't real after all, well to climb up without knowing if it was real or not.
With test conducted its time to climb. Passing in front of Mina to go first. "Uh. Opinions are fine you can state them. Doesn't mean I'll agree. And doesn't mean they might not get someone into trouble. Words have alot of power." Something every lost knew. "Hm. Again. Good spot finding this." As the ogre takes the first hand holds.

Spring Mantle -1 Glamour Harden Mask, -1 Glamour Harden Mask, -1 WPMismatched eyes watch as he throws the stick at the bridge.
And seeing he was content with whatever his test or whatever it has showed him; she looks to him and nods. He’s told her something similar before.
A shrug, “Not sure if it will be easier or safer, but, it’s something.” She wasn’t even sure how successful she would be getting her ass up it. But he offered to help her, and she was going to give it a go. Hoping and praying to whatever would listen that she didn’t fall and break anything or worse.
Eyes watch Kray as he begins to climb, watching which handholds he grabs and uses, where he places his feet. She shakes her hands out, takes a deep breath and grabs the same handholds the Orge used, her mismatched eyes focused squarely on Kray and his hands, her mind keyed in to nothing else.

The stick thrown with all his ogrish might, and it hits the swaying rope bridge with a satisfying thwack.
They start to climb, the Ogre helping the Elemental, by showing her the way.
Up and up and up they go.
If they risk a glance down the ground, it looks farther down than it should be, appearing more as a smear of green and brown. The animal dim, seems brighter, closer than it had been moments ago. Vertigo swamps their being, gorge rises. then snaps away.
Kray's strength easily carries him, up, and up and up - much more used to pulling his own weight in this manner than Mina. Who even with the path shown to her by the Autumn King, is falling behind ever so slightly.
Kray's esuxx can keep him going up, but Mina I need another Climbing check from you! Kray can still help via Teamwork!

Mantle Consumed Coup nettle tea, Pathfinding catch met, Survival boost, Might of brute, throwing boost Harden maskThe stick had hit so either the bridge was tactile or a really really good fake, either way not the first time the giant feels not exactly gratitude but nor is it resentment for the magics and powers he had gained from his stay in arcadia. He did not pine for the place as some of the ashen court did, but he did appreciate, that was the feeling, the boons they bestowed and the opportunities presented as a result.
The climb needed no magic, not for him for a obese looking giant he could get around faster and into places that would surprise any who might think to keep him out or escape his whims. Not so for the elemental it seems as she does fine just not with his ease. "Uh. How you doing." And that's when he looks down, to check on Mina and the warped distance, the vertigo hit. "Huh." Gulping down the feeling. Hoping its just a trick of the hedge. If it isn't then problems are close at hand.
They hadn't been going for to long. "Uh. Just keep coming after me. Slow or fast as you need to." It wasn't a crisis moment yet. If something or someone is screwing with us I can always eat them.

Spring Mantle -1 Glamour Harden Mask, -1 Glamour Harden Mask, -1 WPThe Elemental wasn’t going to look down, she was focused on the task. Keep moving up, keep her hands on the handholds Kray had used, keep focused.
Taking a breath, “Um, I think I’m doing ok.” Ice covered hands continued to follow the path that the Orge had used. She wasn’t as fast as him, not as confident, but she was steady. What was that story you hear as a kid? Slow and steady wins the race? Or something like that.

With Kray's help Mina finishes the accent, the pair of them pulling themselves up onto a relatively slim looking platform. Beside them, quite obviously, is the pinned rope ladder. Which can be unstick without much effort to unravel all the way down to the ground below - or close enough that a drop from the bottom of the length shouldn't break anything were they to jump, or fall off.
Now, will the Lost test the bridge first, or stride along the swaying path?
for testing you can throw something, or use other abilities if you want, or simply walk along the rope bridge, you can also roll Perception (remember clarity) when you do.

Mantle Consumed Coup nettle tea, Pathfinding catch met, Survival boost, Might of brute, throwing boost Harden maskAnd up they were without incident all be it on a rather small platform. "Ah. There you go." The rope ladder was well, it was what it was. "Ha. Look at that seems like only I need to get up here after all. Ah well you done it down." Challenge over come and all that. "Uh. Reckon we should let that down because if this was a children's story this is the part the hungry troll emerges to demand a toll for crossing the bridge." Which is what passed for the giants attempt at humour, he of course having no way of knowing what would happen next he just found the reversal of the story mildly amusing.
Now he had already thrown a stick that had connected with the bridge which was a good start but now he's level with it what passing for a discerning eye and prods with the head of the sledge hammer to test the construction. "Hm. Now I'm thinking we go one at a time, me first big guy like me the bridge might not be to happy." Not having stepped onto it yet, just poked around with the hammer until he was sure Mina knew the plan.

Spring Mantle -1 Glamour Harden Mask, -1 Glamour Harden Mask, -1 WPThe tension didn’t leave her body until she didn’t have to climb up the damn tree anymore. And even then, she was still tense as fuck. She wasn’t a big person, she was relatively small, but Kray? Kray was a big guy, and this slim platform didn’t seem like it was meant for big ass Orges.
Taking a deep breath, she looks around.
Oh, of course there was a ladder up here! Would have been nice earlier. Motioning to it, “Would have liked that earlier.” She mumbles with a bit of bitterness.
Mismatched eyes look at him, “Ha, yeah, ha.” She deadpans.
“But I do thank you for helping me get up the tree.” She was still thankful for that. Cause she didn’t want to do it and did not want to have to do it again.
Oh, she knew the plan. Send the delicate Elemental across first so she wasn’t stuck up here if the bridge didn’t take to his weight.
Sighing, “Yeah, I got it.” Carefully, a foot slides out on the bridge, letting it slowly take her weight before easing her other foot onto it.

The slim platform didn't creak underfoot, but it did as the wind passed through. Which cased the rope bridge to sway in time. Kray's hammer prodding revealed the bridge to be solid and real, not just a well constructed illusion.
The rope bridge looks very well constructed, and cared for. Sturdy and inviting. Adventure calling from the other side.
Kray will see that there are a lot of vines coiled about and hanging from the bridge, however.
