Unsere ersten grossen Tiere

... into a full body climbing style harness and then told to "just wait here, the guys are making sure everything is ready since you're the first ones today, they have to run through all the safety tests!" I'm still calm at this point but Colm is starting to pucker.. the looks on his face are fairly priceless!
