Back when I was in Jr. High, I watched my brother run down the side of a farm silo. This was certainly amazing in my eyes. Man did it look scary, yet exciting. He was an airborne ranger in the army back then, and the feat was not a big deal to him. He had repelled and jumped out of airplanes a number of times. This was the first time I had ever witnessed repelling where the repeller faces the ground instead of facing the sky. It was impressive. After seeing this, I wanted to learn how to repel too. Sure enough, my older brother obliged. I was repelling like a pro in no time. The hard part was actually dealing with the harness setup. That took a while to master. He had even given me some decent climbing equipment so that I could start climbing. It wasn't long before I took up rock climbing and enjoyed repelling down any crazy place I could find on our 15 acres of country land. I eventually evolved with the finest climbing equipment as I reached adulthood.
