Human: Produce a detailed written description of a cold scene outside a cliff in the wilderness with icicles and jagged slate. Assistant: 
Thick layers of jagged slate stick out horizontally from the cliff, their flat surfaces creating a natural stairway on the mountainside. A large cluster of broken icicles lies in a pile next to one of the steps, somewhat resembling an elaborate natural crystal formation. Clear rime forms on the wind-blasted side of rocks, where snow and ice cascade from high stone terraces to land in soft heaps.
