"Game of Thrones" fans at the half way point in season 3 and episode 6 "The Climb" may be the most suspenseful episode yet.

We will catch up with Jon Snow, Ygritte, Tormund Giantsbane, Orell and the other wildling north of the Wall and they embark on their treacherous climb over the massive ice Wall. The Wall is a huge looming barrier that separates Westeros from the free folk of the true North, and Mance has commanded some of his wildlings to climb it.

We also check back in with Jamie and Brienne, who are still being held captive by Roose Bolton. Jamie sings the old Lannister song that "a Lannister always pays his debts" and attempt to coerce Roose into releasing him to his father. Bolton is not so easily swayed by the promise of Lannister gold, when Jamie senses his failure, he reaches for a knife. Fortunately for Jamie, Brienne restrains him before he can do anything regrettable.

King of the North, Robb Stark realizes the necessity of an alliance with the Freys. Robb and Caitlyn meet with Frey men and they reveal that instead of actions they want the marriage pact upheld. Even if it isn't between Robb and a Frey girl, Robb's uncle Edmure will end up having to marry when of Walder Frey's daughters.

Theon is still being held and tortured and he is assured by his deceptive captor that his torture will not end well. Theon's torture is so awful, I almost feel sympathetic for him. We also catch a glimpse of Arya Stark with the Brotherhood. She strings up a bow and arrow and warns "there's someone out there." Could it be Melisandre? The red priestess may be in search of King's Blood? Does she know that Gendry is King Robert's bastard son?
