I Almost Died in Goblin's Lair (Goblin Valley State Park)

it’s really cool to see someone who is willing to share their experience, even if it is a bit nerve racking and not their finest moment. not a lot of people do that anymore on social media, very admirable!

Thanks. I think I made a pretty cool squeaky sound when I let go of the rope. Like choking on a rubber duck.

Glad you lived to tell this tale!

[@mattsmid-lifemash-up3155]

Me too!

I'm so glad you didn't die! Thanks for sharing this adventure. I didn't know you were afraid of heights! You've spent your entire life hiking and climbing on steep cliffs! You are one tough Grand Emperor!!!

[@mattsmid-lifemash-up3155]

Well, I like hiking for sure. Jury is still out on how much I like rappelling.

[@jyumeredith6233]

Is there a reason why you and your kids didn’t wear hiking boots?

[@mattsmid-lifemash-up3155]

The hike itself isn't very long, so we just did shoes.
