The camera got put away, time to try for the top. We got around the corner, and there was nothing but this big boulder that was on an angle you see in front of my sons fingers in this shot. There was only one finger hold big enough for four fingers, my son was able to reach the second finger hold, I was not.
I am much shorter with not much of a spread. I started to slip. I yelled for my son, he noticed the panic in my voice. His hand was there. Just out of my reach. I had to let go and sort of free fall to him. Hoping he could catch me. Luckily he did, here I am. All I got out of the whole ordeal was when he grabbed me he had to grab an ankle, and swing me to this crevice. I hit my knee and skinned it. Ego shot, muscles soar, shaking because the dogs were with us. I was so afraid. Oh did I forget to mention I have a true fear of heights?
Anyway, we all survived, but with soar muscles, and a great learning experience. NO rock climbing for me!
