    First time rappelling - video and pics

    These came from a member here, but I compressed and threw the video on YouTube for them.

    I won't release the member's name, just in case there's something ethically wrong being displayed, I'll save them from some harsh lashings.

    Anyways, this shows Mark's first time rappelling, down by St George. Just a short drop, good for beginning.

    Don't pretend I didn't see that "stunt" at the very end, he's busted. That 3 foot jump looked like fun and that is not allowed.

    I remember my first rappel... Leaning back over a ledge gives the heeby-geebies. The second time down, started doing some jumps and letting out some rope. Fun times.

    Sadly, I haven't done it since. Guess I need to look up some friends. ScoutMaster, you there? There is a cache I want to get.

    This one is my personal favorite, nice job man. Better than I did my 1st time out. I give you +5 for style and form.


    P.S. Gimp Sucks... Well I guess for free, it's decent.

    You know, you shouldn't do that. I know a guy that heard about his sister's friend that went down upside down, and he got a sore throat.
