    Glad to see Mike working. I’ve only ever seen him telling stories and eating.

    I'm not sure if it's working fast or really slow and the fast part is just a bunch of fill-in BS until the real stuff catches up!

    Something tells me, you guys just want to see a grown man cry. I've heard it sounds like silverware hitting the floor, when an asian cries.

    Looks like a good class!

    Hardest part for me on my first full vertical rappel was committing my weight to the rope. There was a drop of about a foot before the rope held my weight, and you have to drop yourself out of a window, 50' above a parking lot before the rope holds you.

    Took me a good minute double and triple checking the system and my gear before I did it. :p

    always the hardest part , going over the edge be it a cliff or or out a window. That moment you transition from a solid platform to being on rope.

    Best moment is pausing on rope halfway down. and just taking in the views.
