Ready for Summer in Montana

I can hardly wait for nice weather to get here in Billings. We have recently been suffering a spat of sub-zero temps and blizzard conditions the last few days. I know that North Dakota has taken the beating longer than us. (I love my heated shop!)

Here is a short video featuring one of my other interests. I think that you will see why I love it here. I enjoy rappelling, climbing, mountain biking and hiking right here in Billings. That does well at holding me over until I get a weekend to spend in the mountains.

Enjoy!-

Peace, Love, and Rappelling

It looks like a lot of fun.

They don't have mountains here, just mine dumps, iron ore pits.

I don't think they had rope when I was your age<(;O}#

Thanks for the video, it brings back soo many memories. My first date with my wife I taught her to rappell. We use to make pyramids on the rock face with a dozen guys stacked up and do twists jumping off. You made my day today.

Thank you.

To each his own. I think now my knees would hold the flying part OK, but the stopping would do me in.

Great video.

Man o man, I used to live at the end of the rope. I have done some STUPID things rappelling. My friends and I used to go almost every weekend.

I used to rappel aussie and even Inverted (start down regular, then when over the lip, stop and flip upside down)

We had some freaky weather, today we had 60o F., but we still have snow on the ground.

I suppose we'll be getting that in a couple of days.

You're one jump ahead of us in the weather.

Hey Todd, this is Todd! Glad to see you do the same things I do. We just got done training Australian with our tactical team. I love rappelling too. Now, send me a video of you hanging upside down with your eight and a bite and carve me out a dovetail!!!!!
