I did something that scared me sh*tless today.

A solo rappel down a rockface.

It was all fun and games until I had to rappel down this.

You know how photos always under-represent the steepness? Yeah, exactly. Credit: Rosaline/author

AllTrails told me this was a ‘Moderate’ trail. Moderate, my ass.

I am a robust hiker. Short height and slight build never kept me from attempting some tough trails. One thing kept me back from some: my fear of heights.
