Had a great time camping over the weekend w/ Midnight, Oculus, Rap, Critter, and our S/Os.

I think the most memorable moment was rapelling off a cliff behind the Lodge on Monte Sano, during a wedding. The wedding guests were probably distracted by Critter when he harnessed up and jumped off the cliff directly behind where the bride and groom were standing. As we hiked back to camp, I pointed out that they may have been annoyed by our presence, to which Midnight said, "If you're having an outdoor wedding on top of a mountain, you have to be prepared. You might see a bird shit, and you might see someone rapelling off a cliff."

We followed up the rapelling with some rock climbing, using the top-rope belay method for safety. My leg cramped up half-way to the top (I still made it, somehow), Midnight employed the never-before-seen "knee method", and forty7after required the belay-er plus 3 of us to let her down after her climb.
