Repelling 101

Well for Christmas Richard gave us repelling lessons, I was like are you kidding me! So Saturday was the big day. We were at Pete's Rock at the trail head of Mt.Olympus. it was an 80 foot repel . No big deal right.....Wrong.! Richard has a major fear of heights, I don't mind heights but I have big trust issues...Like putting my life in someone else's hands and backing off a cliff that is 80 feet to the ground! ( this happens in cars also). Lynde,  well she had no fear at all. she was ready for the adventure. It was a beautiful Utah summer morning. and well we conquered our  fears and are all  still alive... We had a great time. I was the photographer and they forgot to take my picture so you will just have to take my word that I went down also.
