Rappeling at Banathimaribetta

At about 3pm, my family and myself were doing rappeling with BMC (Bangalore Mountaineering Club). There were about 30 people in a group. 12 to 15 people had gone the rock. I was feeling very scared as the rock was about 90 ft. high. My brother Shubham had started crying. I had made my mind not to do rappeling and trek down the mountain the other way. Since many people had done rappeling made it look easy, I decided to give it a try. So I wore the equipments necessary for rappeling and I started rappeling down. But when I was half way through, I slipped on the rock and got some bruises. I used the support of the rope and got up. I then reached the bottom of the rock slowly. When my brother saw me do it, he too did it though he fell a couple of times. I was amazed to see a 8-year old do rappeling. Then came my father and mother who did it comfortably.
