Today while rock climbing for high adventure with some young men from the stake. I chose to climb up the cliffs we had been repelling down, it was a great climb until about 3' from the top when I grabbed a rock about the size of my head and it pulled loose from the mountain. I immediately fell off the wall and began flying towards the ground back first. I was being belayed but he apparently was snapping some photo's of me climbing so his hands were tied up. I closed my eyes and braced for impact, just when I thought I was going to hit the ground I was stopped by the rope. I was literally inches from the rocky ground. I was in shock, I immediately jumped up and assessed myself for injuries. I was amazed that I only had a few scratches and rope burn on arms and hands. I thought to myself I must have something left to do in this life, because I shouldn't be alive after falling almost 50'! There is a higher power out there angels are watching over us and caring for us when life gets out of our control.
