It's very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, and you shouldn't go if no one in your group has done this before (so Nicole, tell your hubby there will be NO FAMILY TRIPS), so if you want to give it a bash, you should look up canyoneering routes/guides in your area. That way you can give the trip a try with someone experienced in the sport and the area, and you'll have someone to help you get the appropriate gear (Notice the helmets!). It's a lot of fun and very few people get the opportunity to do this, but it's extremely hard work. My pack was about sixty pounds once it was wet, and we carried about 300 feet of rope. I gained six pounds over the week (in muscle, I'm pretty sure). The trail up one canyon we did was only four miles, but it took about eight hours from start to finish. Slow but rewarding!</p> <p>I'm actually not a fan of heights unless I am roped into an anchor. If I am in harness and wearing a helmet I feel better because I have confidence in my gear and abilities. The last picture was my favorite moment because I actually jumped! It was a twenty foot jump into a VERY deep pool. My husband was waiting to take my picture before I jumped, and I was sing-songing "This makes me VERY nervous!" the whole time. I'm not as brave as you think I am! :)</p> <p>Shell, I am afraid to mtn bike because I'm not as much in control as I am in climbing and rappelling. My husband loves to mtn bike, but I have yet to try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-84-810#post-20083 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:47:46 +0000 Anonymous 20083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear LE, I just looked at your pictures again and all I can say is OMG!! You are very brave. I never rapelled or jumped off a bridge. My goal was to stay on the bridge, and don't look down!<br /> By the way, you also look great in your gear.<br /> Great pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-84-810#post-20041 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 14:34:17 +0000 shell 20041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that looks so fun i too shan't show my loved one these photos or he'll be interested too. dirtbiking is about as outrageous as i'll get for him </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-84-810#post-20030 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 13:09:03 +0000 katieck 20030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

I'll have to live vicariously through your photos since I don't do heights either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-84-810#post-19974 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 01:36:39 +0000 Nicole 19974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, is this something you do regularly? I don't dare show my husband these photos, or he'll be shopping for gear and signing all four of us up for another adventure. I'm just starting to mentally prepare myself for my second season of snowboarding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-84-810#post-19898 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 20:33:30 +0000 Anonymous 19898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, I think I would have a harder time up high on a bridge than on top of a cliff. To each their own, I suppose? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-84-810#post-19895 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 19:37:33 +0000 Anonymous 19895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes you're correct I worked on bridges Ana. HaHa! Somehow rock climbing seems more scary to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-84-810#post-19889 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 18:45:48 +0000 Julia 19889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Impressive! It makes me want to go to the mountains. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-84-810#post-19884 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 18:22:01 +0000 Anonymous 19884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoops! The links to Mt Hood out a plane window were not supposed to be there! I think it's fixed now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-84-810#post-19881 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:26:12 +0000 amy29 19881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neat pics!

I'm afraid of heights, too. :)</p> <p>Beautiful pictures, LE. I miss the Pacific Northwest, sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-84-810#post-19862 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:01:46 +0000 Anonymous 19862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very impressed with your rock climbing. Scary! I climbed an indoor wall and that was scary. What beautiful sights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/le-84-810#post-19860 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 15:52:32 +0000 Becky 19860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

I'm very tired but had a lot of fun. Don't worry, I don't wear these outfits to work, although now I need to make the mental shift from outdoor mode to office mode. </p> <p>My favorite moment? <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tall1inart/2749791935/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/t.....749791935/</a> </p>
