Repelling Off Mountains!




Mick had some training meetings this week.
One day they went to a mountain and had some hands on learning.
They went to the top of a mountain and repelled about 75 feet down.
These experiences would be great if you didn't have a fear of heights!!
Mick overcame his fear and repelled down.
Mick is pretty determined so it would have taken a lot for him not to do it!
He said it was a great experience but he wouldn't be making a habit of repelling.

Starting his descent.

This is what he repelled down.
They hiked up the back side to get to the top.
Maybe next time he will try rock climbing up to the top....not!!
We will leave the rock climbing to Jared and Jennifer.

I love this picture of Mick.
He has this little boy look of determination on his face!
