This Weekend; My 15 Minutes


http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/111539

My 15 minutes: I did a 300 ft multi-pitch rappel, grabbed the young lady, and tandem rappelled the remaining 80 feet.

I'm a volunteer member of this group: http://superstition-sar.org/

This may give you some prospective.


Here's her boyfriend riding with one of our guys:


I'm still buzzing!

Where were you guys when I got my dogs tennis ball stuck on the roof, just kidding.

Great job, this world needs more like you and your group, life isn't always about how much money you can stuff in your pockets.

So...She attempted a Free-Climb, got a bit up there, shat her pants and could not continue. Chickened out?

What is the back story?

BTW.....Good work Trooper!

I once lived in Phoenix. Beautiful place! Look to the East and see Four-Peaks!
