A few metres from certain death!


It seems like only a few years ago -- because it WAS only a few years ago -- that Cole and Jack could barely scramble up a rock the size of a refrigerator. Not any more! We went climbing last week and the boys and I made it to the top of The Intruder, a scary rock formation in Joshua Tree National Park. We made it by working as a team: at some places in the climb the only thing the guys had to hold onto was my leg, while I laid flat on my stomach! I was so proud of them.
Sometimes getting to the top is scary. And that's the best part! (comments welcome)


PHOTO: It's difficult taking a photo that conveys a true sense of height, a photo that shows we are a few metres from certain death!
