Yesterday a couple of good friends took a group of us first timers rappelling at Palisades Park. We had a blast! Here are a few photo's:
Out of the newbies, Hannah went first.
Then comes Sidney. In this shot she had actually just recovered from being turned upside down!
Laura Beth did it too!
Here I am with Philip trying to talk me down
And now I am at the bottom with Nick and LB!
Buuuuut.... I didn't do it. I just hiked down :)
I spent most of my time doing this:

Here's Nick trying to coach Maggie. She has done it before but ended up not doing it this time. She's such a good sport!
And now- our fearless (okay- they were scared too) leaders!.... Minus Lisa:
Nick had to go down first, without anyone belaying below, because he's the one that set everything up this time. And that's the rule- you set it up, you go down first. Philip did it the other time.
And lastly- here's Philip being a showoff :) I think he pushed off the rock only once, maybe twice, going down. Impressive!
All in all, it was a fabulous day!!
