These came from a member here, but I compressed and threw the video on YouTube for them.

I won't release the member's name, just in case there's something ethically wrong being displayed, I'll save them from some harsh lashings. :lol8:

Anyways, this shows Mark's first time rappelling, down by St George. Just a short drop, good for beginning.

Don't pretend I didn't see that "stunt" at the very end, he's busted. That 3 foot jump looked like fun and that is not allowed.

Looks like fun. That red rock is giving me the itch. Thanks for posting.

I remember my first rappel... Leaning back over a ledge gives the heeby-geebies. The second time down, started doing some jumps and letting out some rope. Fun times.

Sadly, I haven't done it since. Guess I need to look up some friends. ScoutMaster, you there? There is a cache I want to get.

This one is my personal favorite, nice job man. Better than I did my 1st time out. I give you +5 for style and form.


P.S. Gimp Sucks... Well I guess for free, it's decent.

You know, you shouldn't do that. I know a guy that heard about his sister's friend that went down upside down, and he got a sore throat.
