Today I had the opportunity to go rock repelling.  What a great
experience!  Repelling is the sport of lowering yourself down a sheer
ediface via a rope and harness rigging.  Sounds exciting, huh?  The only
time I was really scared was when I had to slip over the edge backwards.
It wasn't too much work lowering ourselves down the 85 foot vertical but
the climb back up to the top was a bit treacherous.

You only go around once, reach for all the gusto you can...
