I knew it could be disassembled and reassembled, which seemed like the kind of thing I could do readily enough. A quick look at the joints showed it to be more complicated than I'd imagined, and even after a spell to sharpen my night vision it was looking unlikely I'd get anywhere within the time allotted. I climbed it up and down, as much to keep busy while I thought as anything, and what I realized was that it was much lighter than it looked.
