Be prepared
While Romney was hiking with his wife and grandkids in the Subway in Zion National Park a couple of years back, the group reached a 20-foot rappel area where their means of exiting the slot canyon had washed out. It was beginning to rain, making it more urgent for them to exit the canyon. Luckily, their guide had brought a rope and cord to help them rappel down.
Similarly, he urged those in attendance to be prepared for what could happen in their lives.
Romney said he had never rappelled before getting to the Subway, but he and his family faced their fears and made it down safely. Life, he said is about "learning how to do things that you didn’t think you could do."

Their guide? I'm pretty sure he means the unpaid person leading them, since the pics showed them rappelling on 1" tubular webbing (as I remember, always suspicious).

Yea, that would explain why they had the rope wrapped around their body to "rappel".
I think I posted a thread about this a year or two back. I'll see if I can pull up those old pics and compare.

The foresight in the choice of protective footwear is inspirational.
