Sam's Throne Area, Arkansas (November, 2001)

Don had to stay at the top to fasten in the rappellers, so guess who got to test go first!  That's right--ME!  (I'm starting to notice a trend here, Don sets it all up and then finds a reason to make me test it out.  Geez.)

Without a belay down below, I double and triple checked everything because one mistake meant there was no one to back me up except the bottom of the bluff.

Everything worked like a charm!
