Carabiners - Sandrock, AL
John Dickerson of Slate Magazine (along with his wife) battle fear and rock-climbing with guides Eli Simon and Pete Fasoldt of the Atlantic Climbing School in Bar Harbor, Maine.
“There was nothing to stop him from plunging straight down into the rocks at the base of the cliff. My hands started to get sweaty. He knew what he was doing, right? I asked my wife quietly (I didn’t want him to hear and think I was not, you know, sturdy). I was about to say something to him when, at what must have been 50 feet (it felt like 80), he put in the first cam. I exhaled. I felt like I’d reached the top.”
