In Chapter Nine, Wolf thought Davey was in trouble because she was calling out for her father, so he approached her. Davey's fear of the stranger causes her to be very coarse with him. She marks a stone that she plans to use on his head if he tries to harm her. The stranger isn't deterred by Davey's attitude and keeps up with her smart remarks. He offers her a drink from his water, (to Davey's joy since she didn't think to bring a bottle of water with her) and introduces himself as Wolf. Wolf tells Davey, in a matter of fact way, that he has to leave for an appointment and she has to leave the canyon when he does. He knows that she is inexperienced and doesn't want her to end up hurting herself. After some contemplation Davey follows him to the top. Davey skins her knee on the way up but makes it to the top, wondering how she will find the energy to ride home. Wolf informs Davey that if she plans to do rock climbing she has to get herself a pair of boots. As Davey is leaving, he asks her name, and she says "Tiger." They share a laugh, as Davey rides away.
