Peace, Love & "On Belay"

Wanted to drop a quick note and let y'all know about my super exciting day! Today was beautiful so Daddy & I spent sometime putting the day bed up in the attic. When Mommy & Daddy turned around and found me on the third step of the ladder up to the attic they decided it was time for me to learn proper harnessing and belay techniques.

Here is the beginning of the process. Daddy is making me my own seat harness out of a piece of tubular webbing.

After getting hooked into my belay line, I began my ascent.

Me & my oh-so-trustworthy belay team... Mommy!

Beginning my descent

Getting some help unhooking the carabiner from my harness after completing my descent!

Mad props to Daddy for making me an uber-safe climbing harness and for protecting me from any unnecessary meetings with the garage floor. I really thought I was safe enough just having Mommy or Daddy spot me while I climbed but I think my parents were hoping that if they made a big deal about the harness and rope maybe I would think twice about climbing things without them around. Guess we will have to wait and see how well I remember this lesson!

Peace, love & "on belay",
