Zip Line

The part for my bike shock didn't come in today, so we got up early and took a 1.5 hour ride to do a Zip line and ladder climb.

The ladder runs straight up the side of some huge cliffs, and we climbed 300 meters, before doing 5 different Zip lines, from 300 to 500 meters.  

What a blast.  Vanessa has never climbed before and was scared out of her mind on the zip line, but she conquered her fears and did all 5 of them.  By the third one she was even kicking her legs a bit.  

The final line was a repel descent, and again, she did awesome.

Fun Day!

And a close up.

She didn't quite make the platform, so she had to pull herself the last 10 feet.

Safe on the platform.
