Speaker 1: high ropes out at Geraldine, Yeah, yeah, coming down was

34
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,760

35
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: perfectly positioned in the harness. Yeah, yeah, it was sort

36
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: of grabbing places it really shouldn't be grabbing. Was that

37
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: outside of your comfort zone?

38
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,600
