Sounds right to me, as well.

Jason steps up to Gholog, his spell infusing the half-orc with energy. Gholog feels his hands and feet take on a peculiar, tense sensation. He makes his way to the rock face, and, at first tentatively, then with speed and confidence, scales the mountainside.
Upon reaching a height close to a hundred feet, Gholog lowers the rope, hoisting up Seraphina. Jason's spider climb invocation aids both his footing on the rock, and his grip on the rope, allowing him to quickly lift the halfling and the rest of the group.
After close to twenty minutes of work, Gholog has scaled to a height of seven hundred feet above the ground. He's sure that the spell is the only way he could have made the climb, as the rock face was smashed and torn for some distance in the middle of the climb, large claw marks scoring the stones.
Above him by perhaps seventy feet, he Gholog spots a large cave opening. Just as he is lowering the rope down to his companions assembled on a ledge below, he hears a fwwwiiiipppppp... ZING sound. A crossbow bolt ricochets off a small boulder to his left, and a curse word in some language that sounds very similar to Orc comes to his ears. Looking up, he can see a goblin trying to quickly reload its crossbow, while shouting something back into the cave.

"Our luck is unbelievable!" Kerrick pulls out a dagger and makes a wild throw up into the cave.
Chances are i won't hit anything, but maybe i get close enough to make the bastard back off a little.

"Dirty little bastard..." Seraphina mutters. She then unslings her crossbow, loads it, and points it at the goblin - and shoots.
Assuming we can see the goblin, that is... it sounds like it's pretty far up, and we might not be able to see it.

OK, just to clarify a few things: The goblin is about 70 feet above Gholog. Even with the aid of the spider climb spell, it's going to take him two or three rounds to reach the ledge.
The rest of the group are assembled on a ledge 50 feet below Gholog. Some of the group can see the goblin (Kerrick and Seraphina), while all the others are only aware of some swearing and a crossbow bolt having just cartwheeled past.
The goblin is directly above the group. As such, it's going to be pretty hard to hit him with any ranged weapons. All ranged weapons have their range increment halved when shooting directly upwards. This puts the goblin well outside the range of a dagger, and gives a -6 penalty to any crossbow shots.

Seraphina: Initiative: +3, AC: 17, HP: 10/10
Seraphina pauses for a moment, contemplating the distance between her and the goblin.
"Oh well," She says, shrugging. "If I miss, I'll just try again... at least this'll make him think twice about showing himself..."
Light Crossbow: -3 atk (+3, -6 distance), 1d8 dmg
