My brother-in-law, Cody, brought his canyoneering equipment down to Lake Powell. He taught a bunch of us how to rappel. It was my first time and I was very nervous. Conrad was my strong belayer! I knew that he would catch me if I fell!
Here I am showing how tough I am--right before I stepped out on the edge! :)
This where I "broke". That means I was able to let go of the rope and hold myself up.
Yes, I did it!
Here I am in the beginning--keep in mind this is my first time and I was nervous. (Sorry that this video is sideways--my sister could not figure out how to turn it--just tilt your head to watch it)."Thumb in the bum" is the term used to describe where you should hold the rope behind you! :)
I pretty much am an expert now--if you can't tell by the video clips!
