This is a video of Chris making the climb. He made it to the top. We all cheered and then he started to come down when the knot slipped and Chris free fell about 30 feet. By a miracle, Chris did not hit the ledge, the metal sign, rocks or people when he fell. He landed on his left side mostly in the sand. When we ran to him his eyes and vision were zoned out but he sat up and looked around. I started to scream and thought for sure that Chris was paralyzed or that he would never be the same again. Aunt Amy took all the kids and said a prayer and Uncle Adam and Jesse gave Chris a priesthood blessing while my dad called 911.
It is sad the Adam M won't climb anymore. From listening to him- you can tell that he was so excited about it. Hopefully he will change his mind!
