| | Give 'Em Enough Rope: Krabi, Thailand |
 | | Against all my better judgement, heart beating like a rabbit, I leaned back over the edge of the cliff, and as King gradually loosed off the rope, bounced feet first off the cliff face for a couple of minutes until the ground rose to meet me. It was a miracle. |
 | | From the ground it seems simple enough, but when you are up there with your face pressed against rock, trying to flatten yourself to reduce the load on your fingers, you can’t see a damn thing. |
 | | Coming down this time, I actually trusted the rope, the same way you might trust the brakes in your car, and gliding back to the ground was actually a pleasant denoument. |
