The boys decided that they would race to the top of the wall....scary!! So, it wasn't too bad to begin with...they were pretty close together, but then our friend Brad took off and left Marvin in the dust.
But you have to give Marvin some credit....he didn't give up!! He just kept on truckin' until he made it to the top and pressed the button!
Uh oh....now it's time to come back down!!! Not so good for someone with a phobia of heights! Marvin thought that the rope wasn't going to hold him and he started clawing for the rock wall for dear life!!! It was like a cat trying to escape water!! He nearly killed himself! Of course by this time we are all laughing until we can't breathe and all of the onlookers are quietly giggling in the background, but nonetheless, Marvin still has to get down from the top of that wall!!! They slowly let him down and he practically collapses on the ground because his knees are so weak from the adrenaline rush that is finall wearing off!!
When he finally gets unstrapped and comes out to see us, he is bleeding from a previous wound that he has reopened and he is breathing like he just ran a 5K!!!!
I don't think that he will be climbing any more rock walls in the near future!
