The Cliff-Hanger

James was known as an amazing cliff-hanger. After 15 years traveling the world as a mountain climber with an hobby of hanging on many different cliffs, he had decided to settle down in Arizona and teach locals and tourists the basics of cliffhanging. One a month, he would drive over to the Canyon, to seek a bit of extra thrill.

This time around, his little niece Jenny decided to tag along. As she had been interested in cliffhanging since she was about 9, he felt that she, now 19 was old, was now old enough for a real cliffhanging experience. James had perfected the art of cliffhanging, through his schooling and transformation from rock climbing and mountain climbing to cliffhanging in Sweden, to the extreme art of lineless cliffhanging in the Himalayas.

It was a little bit misty, so James decided to take the safer road and start Jenny off with simple cliffs on the side of the Canyon. After a couple of practices and some cool photos for her Instagram, he decided to do a safe but higher cliffhanging location.

Along the way, the mist became a little more, while rarely the case, the line of sight seemed a little less than normal, so James used a shortcut he had taken before. All a sudden, Jenny screamed for help. A misstep had put here in an awkward position as she felt the grip loosen below her feet. James, about 30 feet in front as he was checking if they were on the right pad slowly started moving back.

Unfortunately, Jenny quickly lost her balance and was now hanging on to the cliff with her bare hands. "Uncle James, my hands, my hands are slipping". James moving closes shouted back: Don’t worry Jenny, just don’t…
