YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT?
I met this lass from England, a very charming petite girl, all clad in her standard two piece bathing costume.
I thought, hmmm, she is a little jewel. well spoken, fine manners, indeed above my council house station in life, but she must have decided I had something interesting to offer on that sunny afternoon and so we got friendly and I suggested I would show her a bit of the beach, etc. We began to walked a little over the rocky terrain, Then she said looking up at the square hole in the side of the cliff, which is about 45-50 ft up from the ground, " what`s that there", oh I said that is one of my exercise routines around here, oh, `what do you mean`, she said, Well, I climb up there it keeps me fit, shall we do it? I asked, don't worry, just stay close to me you`ll be ok, I said.
When I got half way up, I realised I got a bit stuck. ( Not having climbed up there at all before, it was me showing off!) Imagine this, it was a very hot day, the sun was on the backs of us like as if someone was holding an electric fire about 6 inches from our backs, the sweat was starting to flow like as if I was pi**ing myself, she was just below me at about that stage, when your muscles have decided to go on temporary leave, frozen like cramp, the stony out crops were getting dustier and more unstable as we progressed to this stage of the climb.
Thoughts by now seemed to be racing through my mind, why didn't I suggest something a little less life threatening? what if I / we slip, the sound of crunching ankles were now prominent in my mind, my ears must have been deaf to her panicky cries as my only thoughts were how do I save myself, there was no chance of me wasting energy trying to save her, too risky.
Realising I was stuck fast and going nowhere until my sweaty tired hands lost their grip, I answered her cries and suggested we perform a controlled jump or try and climb back down. Before I had finished my sentence, a feline silhouette-like figure as if supported by a magical hand, drifted above me and a soft calm voice spoke: she said, "GIVE ME YOUR HAND".
With no other meaningful suggestions to offer her, I gratefully accepted. Slowly and steadily, we ( me and her) traversed the remaining hard yards to the safety of the big square opening...In disbelief, I was speechless as we sat against the cave walls inside, but eventually spoke in soft humble voice, How did you do that?
To my amazement she was humoured by the whole thing, she said, " I have been climbing with my whole family since I could walk" Yes she was an experienced rock climber.
I don’t know how to end the story but it was all true. Needless to say I can`t remember seeing her again, embarrassment was the key I think!!!!!
But I do know she saved my bacon if not my pride that day.
so I happened to visit on the weekend and took this photo. most of the cave frontage has collapsed, it gave me shivers, the thought of it now i am wiser.
DO YOU HAVE A STORY????
