Suddenly, my legs buckled up and I pressed myself against the rock. I swallowed the fear down my throat and yelled, "Joanie, I'm stuck!" All I could do was cling to the little grips I had and pray she could hear me. She didn't answer. "Joanie?!" I yelled a bit louder, my voice riddled with fear.
"What?" Her voice sounded so far away, but it immediately soothed me.
"I'm stuck!" I yelled again.
"Hold on!" She yelled back, and before I knew it she was by my side, "What's the matter?"
"I'm stuck, my legs won't move." I said, now shaking just a bit.
"It's alright, you're just scared. We'll take this one step at a time. Together, okay?"
I nodded.
"Alright now, straighten your legs and there's another hold just over there..."
