Awkward Rock Climber

I discovered the secret to overcoming my. fear of heights let's talk about. [Music]. that good mythical morning thank you for. joining us thank you for making this a. part of your daily. routine we know it when you do it and. because we're tracking you it feels good. to us to know that these efforts are not. for nothing it's for you we know where. you live uh and we're bringing this to. you based some software that we have.

invested in and are implementing right. now we know exactly which computer. you're using in your. house no we. don't so you conquered fears did I scare. you there for a second uh we don't know. how to track you we don't really yeah I. have overcome my fear of heights excuse. me it's. over I realized I was 6' 7 and there's. no reason that I should be scared of. heights you're walking around in height.

yeah no uh okay I haven't I've. discovered a way for me to to deal with. my fear of heights uh as you know I have. children and as you know because you. also have children you want to be the. good dad and you want to come up with. cool things to do and then of course I. didn't come up with this my wife did I. just went along with it uh Jesse was. like because she's in charge we should. go rock climbing indoor rock climbing as. a family you I'm I'm like there are.

places that you can do this huh okay and. um she's like yeah there's this place we. got this special deal let I think I went. in an REI once that had a rock climbing. wall on like half of it but it like. wasn't that big of a deal I assume this. is more like a warehouse type of thing. yeah yeah this is like a warehouse where. they have put up the rock climbing wall. on not like a party rental like a bounce. house and like a climbing wall this is. like a serious deal like you have to. sign a waiver when you got to sign a. waiver that says the word death in like.

50. times and you will be responsible for. your own death and dismemberment I don't. know how you get dismembered rock. climbing but I guess if you fell hard. enough some a limb could pop off well. those things that come off of the wall. just imagine hitting every one of those. on the way down it's like Plinko lose a. head lose an arm yeah human Plinko. anyway that didn't happen that's what. they should call it and uh but I would. have been responsible for my own. dismemberment if it had to happened or. the dismemberment of any of my family. spoiler alert but we're all in we're all.

in one. piece four individual. pieces so anyway I get in there and the. GU is like doing this orientation first. of all I meet some mythical beasts as. I'm getting ready to go through the. orientation so hello to those of you who. I met at the rock climbing place I got. to admit I was a little self-conscious a. little embarrassed because I don't like. to be recognized in the midst of looking. scared uh and not cool and I was. definitely both of those things at the. same time because I had on this I had. tucked my shirt in in order to wear the.

the harness thing it was up a little. high and then I looked like I was about. to pee myself because I was really. nervous I Heights at all the harness is. kind of in a tidy Whitey configuration I. put the harness on and I was like kind. of making a face and then the the guy. doing the orientation was like yeah the. harness isn't very male friendly I was. like well you think they would have. figured that out by now there's lots of. males here you. know so anyway and so so people are like.

hey can I get my picture taking with. yeah yeah yeah so anyway you're like. make sure you get the the harness in the. picture yeah there's a picture out there. of me somewhere with a harness on on I. so anyway so then the uh the the. orientation starts and he's like okay. over here we have the rock climbing wall. and this is where you hook into the. automatic baying system you know. typically if you go rock climbing. there's like a dude who's uh he's baying. you so there's the Rope going up. standing on the ground and holding the. Rope yeah right but this was just this.

like looks like a huge reel from a big. rod and reel like a giant sea fishing. rod or something like that and it's up. there at the top and uh he's like now. you just climb up this thing it's like. 35 40 feet or something you climb up. this thing and then he says when you get. to the top you just have to throw. yourself off and Trust the auto ballet. system now 40 feet looks pretty tall. from the ground but I assume if you were. to get up there which I don't even know. if you made it up there oh I did you did.

yeah did it seem really tall when you. were up there yeah well tall is probably. I high is the word that I used this. seems really tall up here that's not how. I describe Heights usually unless I'm. referring to people but anyway so I'm. climbing up the wall your choice I'm CL. I'm climbing up the wall now first of. all my kids went first and lot goes. right up to the top you know Fearless. he's Fearless he goes all the way to the. top and then it took him a little bit to. kind of jump off and get the thing and. then he comes down then Shephard goes up. and he's five so he goes up like halfway. and then he's scared and then he but he.

did push himself off so then like all. right Daddy's turn daddy goes up there I. get to the top you were like Daddy's. turn and first of all I I I bypass a lot. of the holds because I mean I'm like. halfway up the wall starting you know. what I mean so it's like my arms are so. long I can reach up and I pull myself up. and I was like and they sent me up the. easiest route so I was at the top before. I knew I'm they looking at this big reel. from the rod and reel and then I'm like. man I don't what if this thing. malfunctions he's like just push off no. just push off just throw yourself back.

just trust the thing he didn't call it a. thing and did he call you Daddy no push. off Daddy and I was like I'm going to do. it and I just without a lot of. hesitation I didn't get up there and. just like freeze I push. off you your heart really just like goes. to your stomach your stomach goes to. your heart whatever one of those things. that happens both and then it caught me. and I came down and I was like oh that. was great it was a little adrenaline. rush and I immediately went up and did. again your face is like against the.

holds no you I stayed away from the. plink but then he says now and now this. is the rock climbing wall but over here. around the whole rest of the facility is. our bouldering section he said this is. when you climb up the wall and top out. basically you climb over these Boulders. and then you can top out and get to this. little thing and then come back down on. the stairs and you're not strapped in I. mean you're like 20 30 feet in the air. and you're not strapped in and there's. this uh mattress or you know pad. whatever that kind of goes all around.

the bottom so if you fall you don't die. you just like break an arm or something. and so I'm like I'm doing this and so I. kind of momentarily forgot about my. children and I just ran over there and I. start going up this Boulder and I go up. the boulder go over the top and then top. out go down and and I I'm thinking to. myself I'm like I can't believe I've did. this like how many people who were here. for the first time just go up to this. Boulder and just go right over the thing. and then come back down I get to the.

bottom and there is a little girl's. birthday party of like 8-year-old girls. and they're all doing the same exact. thing that I just did every single one. of them is in a line just. going so that's that's the answer to. your question yeah in other words. eight-year-old girls do it and so I I I. I was like you finally felt like an. 8-year-old girl yeah and I was like okay. I see where I'm at here and you arrived. and then I thought to myself you know. what I think I have a 5-year-old child. and he's here and I'm supposed to be. watching him and I look and my wife is. at the top of the the thing up there.

lock is on another thing I'm like. where's the 5-year-old child that I'm. responsible for I run around and I come. up and I see that he's on this Boulder. in the middle and he's at the top of the. Boulder and there's like this like. Teenage dude who's like standing. underneath him like spotting him because. it's like you're not supposed to let the. children on this thing and so now a teen. has just come and is babysitting my. child keeping from certain dismemberment. so you became an 8-year-old girl and. then I should have been kicked out of. the place.

but I. wasn't so what did what happened with. Shephard what did he break he he came. back down he he back he backtracked on. his own he was totally fine he loved it. it you know what it was a great family. trip I highly recommend it if you'd like. to risk life and Lim with your family uh. this is a good thing to do and I think. that we should do an office outing all. of us should go and have an 8-year-old. girl birthday party like he can be. princess theme yeah this is great yeah.

we can we can uh we can dress up in. dresses fril dresses it'll be a lot of. fun right you know what time it is hi. this is Rob Hansen with ktox 1340 a.m. in Needles California and it's time to. spin the wheel of mythicality speaking. of 8-year-old girls we've got the pink.
