Rapelling ;)

When i was in Thatcher me and some friends went rapelling. I had never been before and i will be the first to admit that i am TERRIFIED of heights! I never thought i would be able to do anything like this and not only did i do it but the first time i did was off an 80 foot cliff at Red Knolls! It was so scary standing up there and seeing how far down it was im surprised i didn't chicken out! I still cant believe i actually did it...i am very proud of myself!

This is a picture of the cliff from the bottom, think it looks high? looks WAY higher when your standing on the edge of it haha


Look how tiny the car is from all the way up here!


Me and Heath gettin ready to go!

Just about to step off the edge....having second thoughts haha

No turning back now, i was commited and i think that was the scariest part knowing that i HAD to go down!


Hard part was over, doesnt mean i wasnt still scared, now im hanging by a rope 80 feet from the ground! So fun tho!




And down, down, down we go!


Cheezy smile! haha it was the best thing i could give at the time! It was such a scary experience but when i hit the ground and looked up to see how far i had come it was such an adrenaline rush! Im glad i faced my fear and got to experience this!

Repelling is awesome! I did it at girls camp one year. It was a lot of fun, the only disconcerting part for me was they were giving me a hard time and were holding the rope so I couldn't move until I turned upside down. It was fun, but a little scary to know that my life was in their hands! Those cliffs are beautiful!
