How Tall is Your Shadow?

Today couldn't have been nicer for the girls to try their hands (and feet) at rappelling down a 140ft cliff (that cliff's name is Pegasus, just in case you were curious). They began at the top with one rope around a tree hooked through their own belay device (there was a second safety rope hooked through a staff's belay to ensure extra safety) and slowly backed down over the ledge. From there, they were in control of how fast/slow they descended. Some even jumped out away from the rock face as they were going down, for an extra rush of excitement!
