Headed to Rose Ledge this morning after reviewing our self test on Rock Climbing knowledge from a few months ago.
Hiked up to the ledge and remembered the strenuous hike and what it felt like to look up and see Rose Ledge the first time. Today the plan is to set up systems using artificial anchors. We play with cams and the like, testing to see how to place them in rock cracks to get good holds. Next we went up top and set up systems and rappelled down. I did it! I did it with not nearly the drama of the first rappel some months ago. Aaron took a video so whenever he sends that I'll post. A fairly amazing transition and growth. . . still scary but not numbing like before. Only one person didn't rappel but she's thinking about it for tomorrow. I think if I do it, everyone feels the need. In fact I think I heard someone say, "You're not going to let Eileen show you up, are you?"
Tomorrow, more of the same and then some.
