Rock climbing?

Rock climbing, one of those things that my scouts have wanted to do for a couple of years. But was I ready for it? Finally in the summer of 2005 I decided ok I will take them but I'm not climbing...sorry Becky don't like her feet off the ground. I'll crawl through the mud, squeeze through tight spaces, catch bugs, build a fire with flint and steel, sleep under the stars, bait my own hook, and clean fish but climb up a sheer rock cliff? Ain't gonna happen. Or so I thought. Amazing what girls can get you to do isn't it?

	A view upward looked quite intimidating so while the girls were gearing up I took a stroll toward the top.
As I strolled upward and across Backbone Rock I took a look down at the cars
	Upon reaching the area above the girls I laid down on the rock above and took a good look down...a long way down...
Do I HAVE to do this girls?
	Ok 10 feet up isn't SOOO bad.
You better be glad I'm 30 feet up or I'd kill you for using that zoom lens
	Is it possible to find something to hang on to?
Why am I still going up? Have I lost my mind?
	Now where are those girls....soon as I make it down I am going to make them think rock climbing...next time its backpacking or at least something where my feet are on the ground.
