Bravado or silliness aside, our approach to Bell Rock is always cautious. Whereas Jenni is comfortable
on the rock, the writer defines it as his nemesis. We mentioned it last year in a narrative: When we descended
this incredible rock about five or six years ago, we found ourselves in a position where we were stuck. The way
down seemed impossible; the way up again daunting. Meantime, the eyes gazed vertically downwards; the brain
conjured ugly pictures of what could occur should we slip, slide, roll or fall. It was at that stage the writer
froze and felt terror like never before.
Bell Rock is amazing, an incredible place and one that we climb with great respect (and with ease these days)
reaping some delightful feelings. It causes 'a little extra flow of adrenaline' through the body. We believe
and hope that a mixture of caution, respect and fear will maintain our safety. Set out below are just a few of the
many pictures we took today—we hope you enjoy them as we did performing for them. We were fortunate that, for the
first time in our many visits, a photographer arrived to perform a service.
If you are reading this line, thanks for watching the performance.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
