But the creatures had not been daunted by the steep slope of the deck; and now they began to squirm up the side of Foodfendhall, clinging to the flat stone with their bellies.
Но ей не суждено было сбыться. Мерзкие твари с невиданным упорством поползли по отвесной стене.

Other techniques were available but were not made public; the initial advisory led others to believe that exploitation was too daunting a task.

The idea of walking even a short distance on but two legs was terribly daunting, yet it would have to be done, and done at once.
Сама мысль о том, что придется пройти какое‑то, пусть и короткое, расстояние на задних лапах, ужасала, но другого выхода, кроме как пройти его, и пройти незамедлительно, не оставалось.
