Sylvia looked towards the opening that Shortfang pointed out and she commented, "Good find, Shortfang!" ...But how was she going to boost him up? 
Then she looked at her quarterstaff in hand, and towards Shortfang. He may just be light enough, and her height plus the length of the quarterstaff might work. She held one end of the quarterstaff and lowered the other end carefully towards Shortfang. She told him, "Climb on, Shortfang, and hang on. I'll use the staff to get you up there," After he climbs on, she'll lift the quarterstaff end to the opening Shortfang pointed out.
